Hey hey, good morning everyone, hoping all is well out there! Wow finally had a few days of no rain, jeez its been tough here. I feel I am going to have to start over in my garden, I am very disappointed but still have time to get something out of it. Its in a low spot that tends to hold water if its quite frequent, over half my seeds never came up and what did just didnt get enough sun to make it from all the water in the soil. Stinks but hey I am not giving up, going to give it another go! One thing about all the rain is cool, last year we really didnt get enough when we needed it and the Blackberries didnt make last year, well that so istnt the case this year. They are beginning to turn feel itll be another week or 2 before there are more black than red. Ate a handful yesterday when checking though, they are getting so fat and ripe!
My girl has been up for a whole week, has been great for us both! Wow she is an amazing cook! She did me Meatloaf one night, Chicken Pot Pie another & Lasagna last, RRRRRRR wow wow she knows what she is doing! She loves that I can eat also! We were at the store grabbing groceries and got the 2 thickest ribeyes they had for one night. I wanted to do shrimp skewers one night when I saw that my walmart finally got the new Kings Hawaiian BBQ sauce. I grabbed the Big Island Lava RRRRRRRRRRRR are you kidding its good stuff trust me, you so gotta get you some!
Oh yeah I had a package show up the other day, our guy
@phattpiggie told me he had a few surprises for me and wasnt going to show since I love the wait. This is my first experience with his work and I must say he knows his way with wood. Great great pieces all 3, first up
I believe its a blood wood twist maybe paduok am certain its stunning! I told him I wanted a twisted piece above all, I really dig them and the detail, very coo! You can see Daly was just as excited as I!
He also did me a XL tapered Cocobolo piece, I wanna say total length on this piece is 7" with a condenser the entire length
Then for the show stopper DAMN IT BOY piece, he did an extra long stabilized Buckeye Burl stem with Blackwood ends separated by metal, WOWZERS!
This one measures in at 7 1/2"L also with a condenser within. This piece has a couple voids in it like BE also does, the condenser closes them while giving it the extra character. Am really stunned by all 3 pieces and I thank you so much bro for these gifts, well done chief well done!
@flotntoke Its always a pleasure to share bro! We had a great visit at my friends place, he has the cutest little red head daughter named Ruby, she is such a pistol! Super smart and a real cutie pie! She is an only child that rules the roost lol. Every time I see her I am grinning from ear to ear walking through the door and listening to her stories and tales, what a talker she is. Had dinner and let them get to know my girl, was great for us all. I had to stop by a small boutique kinda place to grab Ruby a couple small happies, got her a tiara and other girly gifts. My friend texted me the next day said she was still wearing it the next day, made me feel good again! Lol, sounds like a troubling time to have so many options and goodies to enjoy, sounds like you had a great time doing so, glad to hear it! Neat image too lol!
@CarolKing You so gotta love the versatility of this unit! I did notice that the Nano/UD stems I make with the SS bushing fit well on the WS as well giving you a larger load capacity. It rests on the shoulder of the heat core but with the depth of the SS bushing you can really load it up and get effective results.
@Square4Life Thats what I thought as well bro.
@Stonocrates Beautiful rig you go there!
@mucsusn Anxious to see that piece, I cant remember what I sent ya, I look forward to your thoughts soon! Good eye btw on the spot! Isnt it fun when you notice things like burls on trees when and where in life then thinking wow what could those make, my imagination just goes crazy! Mother Nature is amazing and her creations are remarkable!
@ArthurJ Another great piece you got my man, glad you were able to grab the Thuya after all!
@mucsusn is correct that is a void in your piece. Another reason why I love working burls, eyes are great yes but those natural defects just add even more flavor to an already unique piece.
