I'm not familiar with that manufacturer.
I have no idea what you're talking about there, Tony.
Stupid fingers.
So today I have to do a drop everything and get some soap savers cranked out for a customer. Started the day with (4) 6 foot pine 1x12's....
These things are tedious. I sometimes wish she'd order in larger quantities less often. I'm thinking about making some changes and requiring that if she wants to keep prices down, otherwise a surcharge for quantities of under 500.....
Made a mess....the good kind. Working on bowls that I first turned back in April.
Finish turned these three, now have to sand them. Four others sanded and waiting for a finish.
Still several more to go. Most if these are ambrosia maple. One or 2 elm, spalted ash, spalted hackberry.

Saw your post the other day, Lee, and I must admit I am truly tempted. Actually went to the link to check it out. My dad is in Venice and a drive down (so I can fill the car with stuff from Pete Richardson's Viable Lumber) could work out timing wise. My wife has actually agreed to a Feb trip to Leesburg, FL so she can get away from Feb in Leesburg, VA, with very little brow beating by the way.
Pete is a vendor at the Florida Symposium! He'll have a load of Florida Mahogany, Indian Rosewood, Monkey pod, Camphor & more!
I know him well. His log yard is way cool!!!
Hope you make it down!!

So at the end of the day, 268 soap savers ready to brand and deliver. I'll get them branded and boxed yet tonight. If I feel like working more I'll prep a couple dozen bottle opener blanks yet tonight too....
Pete brought a truck load of wood to the VA symposium a year ago. Got to meet him there. Still have several pieces on the shelf. Had always meant to visit his yard when I am there but have not made it yet.
Took a short break from bowls to make some tchotchke items. Didn't make all of these today, just a couple. I ain't no Schroeder.
Then went back to the bowls. Working on a larger calabash style ambrosia maple. About 11 inches at the mouth.
