Tomarrow I go under the knife for a hernia fix on my right side. No more moving cabinets by myself. While I cant work in the shop for a week I thought I would give away some of my handle materials mostly wood. I have a whole drawer of it and would split it up between two lucky semi-new makers. It is good stuff like ironwood, cocabolo, ebony, micarta. I had some of it stabilized by WSSI and all of this stuff will make a great handle. If You are truly interested just email me and I can shoot you a picture of the drawer. Be sure to tell me why you deserve it. The price is just the shipping cost which I will need first.
 
That's a big plus for the newer makers Bruce, and a darn nice thing to do.

Good luck tomorrow. As alwayys, our prayers and best wishes are with you.

Good luck tomorrow, Bruce. Best wishes for a quick recovery!
 
Bruce, Wish you a speedy recovery! Hope they remove the right thing.

Where's the cut off for being a new maker?
 
Bruce take it easy
i hope you heal fast

so i have to ask this are you going to make sure they use a Sharp knife on you ? just being a wise guy sorry i couldnt help myself :rolleyes:
 
It's a good thing your doing Bruce, hope everything heals up, take it easy for a while though.
 
Ouch! Hope you heal up quick. That's a mighty fine gesture for some new makers. :)
 
Thanks for all the kind wishes and prayers. I do hope she uses a sharp knife but will bring one just in case.

I think I have my 2 makers. Just need to price the postage and send them off.
 
Bruce: The second day is the worst. You walk around like a little old lady and to get out of bed is a real treat. Are they doing the balloon trick and two slits one on the belly button and another one just below????? :eek:
 
Thanks again for more quick recovery wishes.

IG I didnt think to ask. She sure is cute surgeon I hope she does play with my belly button.

OK I think I have enough emails about the wood giveaway. Wish I had more to go around, We have some new makers that could use some nice materials.
 
Yes - a wonderful offer. Congrats to the recipients. I've given out handle stuff to others before, but never stabilized stuff. :eek: :o You sure the meds aren't getting to ya, Bruce? Just kiddin.....:footinmou
 
Come on now! This isn't THAT serious of a procedure! A bladesmith giving away part of the handle material they've been hording is like a normal person organizing their will :eek: ;)

Seriously though, best wishes on the surgery and recovery, we'll be praying for you.
And nice going helpin out the new guys with some wood :cool:
 
God Bless you and the surgeon Bruce!!!!

While I cant work in the shop for a week I thought I would give away some of my handle materials mostly wood.

Another graceful move by an outstanding individual!!!!
 
When I first saw the title of this thread, I thought you found a surgeon who gave free wood with every hernia operation! :D

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Bruce! ;)
 
Two of my co-workers had hernia repairs. Both healed up what I thought as rather quickly. One guy had three done at once! He was hurting for awhile.

Giving away some of your wood is a very nice gesture. And I'm sure will be greatly appreciated by the recipients.
