Contest - Drawing 5/21 5PM PST

Burl- thanks for the opportunity! Any motivational words I would have are lost when I remember I am learning every day from this forum... constant awe at the minds and hands at work here- never stop creating!
 
I am in and thanks for the opportunity.
You know why God chose women to have the baby's, because as a man, I can barely stand the repair of umbilical hernia let alone pushing something size of a sack of flour out thru the opening first. Or as Gilford Godfrey always "says son of a beech, that hurts".
My wife just smiles and mouths the word woose!!!!!!!!!
 
Mark,
Another give away!
You sure must get "bored" alot, but working with wood it's natural that you would get board...and get wood that's bored...and...
Uh, sorry!
I really don't want to enter for a chance to win this time because, as you remember, I was the fortunate winner of a very nice block of maple burl last month and don't want to seem greedy. (Though I really like that redwood block!)
Thanks again.
BTW, the block you sent me seems to be a perfect fit for my Emerson Persian. I am setting about to make it so.
I'll post pics when done.

Those are a couple of beautiful pieces of burl. I bet I could screw those up quite nicely :rolleyes:

Please include me in your generous drawing.

One time I slammed my thumb in a car door. I wasn't drunk or nothin'.
Sucker popped like a grape. I do not recommend it.

Thanks for the chance!
 
OK everybody, drop what you're doing, get off the computer and go make knives! All the more reason to use this beautiful GAW wood. Thanks Mark.

My great grandfather had a saying:

A farting horse will never tire, and a farting man is the man to hire.

Not sure of the wisdom in the saying.. Anyway thanks for the chance.
 
Thanks for the contest, Mark; those blocks are very nice!

bottoms up - drinking expression, rather like cheers, good health, or skol - the 'bottoms up' expression origins are from the British historical press-ganging of unwary drinkers in dockside pubs into the armed services (mainly the navy) in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Men who 'took the King's shilling' were deemed to have contracted to serve in the armed forces, and this practice of offering the shilling inducement led to the use of the technique in rather less honest ways, notably by the navy press-gangs who would prey on drunks and unsuspecting drinkers close to port. Unscrupulous press-gangers would drop a shilling into a drinker's pint of ale, (which was then in a pewter or similar non-transparent vessel), and if the coin was undetected until the ale was consumed the press-gangers would claim that the payment had been accepted, whereupon the poor victim would be dragged away to spend years at sea. Pubs and drinkers became aware of this practice and the custom of drinking from glass-bottom tankards began. The 'bottoms up' expression then naturally referred to checking for the King's shilling at the bottom of the tankard. (Ack J Burbedge)
 
I just spent $100 on abrasives! This hobby is definitely not the cheapest.

Thanks for the chance BS!
 
I am in!


A brunette was walking down the center of the highway muttering 97.... 97.... 97....


A blonde sees her and walks over and asks what are you doing?


About that time a car comes along and hits the blonde...


The brunette now mutters 98..... 98..... 98.....


Hey.. don't blame me! That is my wife's favorite blonde joke...
 
I just went to the random number generator and the winning number is post #67.

Congratulations Arcadia Knives.

Send me a PM with your mailing address and I will get your blocks in the mail.
 
WooHoo! Thanks Mark. Those are two sweet burl blocks. I was just cleaning an area in my shop for handle material and look what happens. Really do appreciate the awesome GAW's. Sending PM.

Congrats on the win, and here all this time I was in the bush I was worried I would have won and not be able to claim it:p
