Our Favorite Night of the Week!

Good Evening,

So we just got home from what has become our favorite night of the week... cocktails and conversation with old friends and new bonds, rekindled from the 40th year reunion.  I love you guys, it is literally our favorite day of the week. 

So after getting home, much to my surprise, another family photo! 

Slynr that is one good looking group photo of my offspring!

 

 

Have a great night and weekend, and to my SMS friends, we look forward to next Friday and those after that, you guys are the greatest!

Have a great night!

Another set of fine looking sticks.

 

 

Very nice family photo Kherome, you rock!

 

 

I forgot to mention the other highlight of the day other than seeing Kherome's picture.  The holly finally arrived and it's some good looking stuff!

Early Friday Morning Custom

Good Morning,

Thunder woke me up this morning around 2:30, and I've got machinery to protect (unplug).  So today is going to be a long one.  Let's do a custom!

On another note, remember a few weeks back when the holly rumor spread like wild fire, which I subsequently squashed?  Well, this time it's true.  I purchased premium grade holly yesterday, let's just hope it actually is premium and not spalted, it should be here next week.

As a reminder, here are the rules of the "Custom Time" game.

• Existing design only, no "create it from scratch" designs.  Ebony and Holly are not available.

Update:

Icy Cascade, you've won the custom!

Since it's going to be a long day, CaileyJH, you've also won a custom!

The game is closed, I'll probably post another one over the weekend sometime.

No Ivy, we can't write off your  bonies

It's that time of year, I've procrastinated as long as I can.  This was last night, I have to be finished by next Friday... I hate this annual exercise. 

Just thought we'd share.

Have a great day!

Labor Day Games

Good Evening,

OK, the Labor Day games and TT are closed.  We had 2 custom orders and only one participant in the "Where's the Bottom" game.  For those interested, the bottom was $154, roughly a 22% discount.  The purple one was never captured, I took the price down to $125, a 35% discount.  So, it looks like we've got a loser on our hands, but that's ok... Christmas is coming and my sweet Madeline (grand-niece) likes my left overs.  As far as I'm concerned, if it's not going to sell, I'd rather it not sell at it's retail price... the alternative is it not selling at a discounted price, and that just hurts my feelings.    :)


Have a Great Labor Day Night, and there's a rumor that Ivy whispered / licked into my ear... there might be a "Surprise Custom" tomorrow!

__________________________________________________________________________


Sorry about the time, I got busy and forgot... that kind of thing happens at my advanced age.

___________________________________________________________________________


Happy Labor Day!

While my mind is still lingering in 1975 from the reunion, it's time to get back to work.  So, let's play some games, it's a double header game day.

Where's the Bottom?

If you haven't participated in this fabulous game in the past, here's how it works.  We've got 2 aged  sticks in inventory (aged to the extent that they are less than 1 week old), pictured below, and they've gotta go.  Each stick is currently priced at $195.  Beginning at 1:00 PM, US, (CST), I'm going to start playing with the prices, they'll go down, they might go up, they'll go down again... you get the idea.  I'll be adjusting the prices about every 5 minutes until someone bites.  At that point, we've found the bottom!

So, the Where's the Bottom game starts at 1:00, but Custom Time starts now.  I've got 2 open spots on the board, would anyone like to play?

As a reminder, here are the rules of the Custom Time game.

• Existing design only, no "create it from scratch" designs.  Ebony and Holly are not available.
• The only information needed is a link to the sold or active stick, along with allowable changes which are wood type, gemstone / metal/metal flake inlays and length.  If it requires more information than what's listed above, it's considered a "create it from scratch" design.
• Just one order, and the first 2 people to reply thru an ETSY conversation gets the customs.  
• You are only eligible to win once in a 30 day time frame, and the custom order is non-transferable.

Have a Great Labor Day!

Update:

Congrats Mortmain, you've got the 1st one!

and this concludes today Custom Time game... Lauren you've got the 2nd spot.

Big Weekend

Good Morning, 

Today's posting is dedicated to my old friends, we'll get back to the business of Timberstone Turnings tomorrow.

It's been a few days since I last checked in, and there's a good reason for it.  This weekend was my 40th year high school reunion, wow... what a flood of memories and emotions.  The vast majority of the folks I've re-connected with are people that sadly I haven't thought too much about since the day I walked out of Shawnee Mission South High School.  The "In Memoriam" video quite literally brought me to tears, Steve you did an outstanding job.  While I've been on Facebook now for a number of years, up until last Wednesday you could count the number of posts I've made on one hand, as I've never really embraced the medium, I thought it was largely a waste of time.  Now, I keep an open tab on the laptop for Facebook along with the other 10 or so tabs that are open every day, and I've actually been sending out "Friend Requests".  I certainly didn't see this coming.

So, a brief note to any of my old Raider friends that might be reading this, these past few days have been quite melancholy for me but at the same time, it's been a very meaningful experience.  While it took more brain cells than I thought I had, (Lord knows I've killed enough over the years), I was eventually able to begin putting the faces back in perspective, and it's a good thing.  Scott, Dave, Ann, Kelly and to all of the other committee members, here's a big Thank You for what you did... you guys Rock!  To everyone else that I saw, and to those that I saw but didn't recognize, please, let's not let another 40 years go by, heck, based on the way we use to play, I'll be lucky to make it another 10!

I truly miss you all and wish you only the best in the days and years to come.  Finally, thank you to everyone I knew in High School, you're part of my DNA and each of you contributed in your own way to who I am today.

_______________________________________________________________________________


OK, so now back to the present.  We still have these 2 sticks in inventory which because of the reunion I haven't done any pricing adjustments.  I needed something to show my old friends, because whenever I tell anyone what I do, it's a universal "deer in the headlights look", as in "You do  What"?   Let's face it ladies, this is truly a niche market, one that not many people have an appreciation for, but fortunately you do.  Watch for my announcement tomorrow, I'm thinking that we may be playing a game, plus I've got a few open spots on the board.

Have a great Sunday, and thanks for allowing me to share my experience.
