"Paying it Forward"

[rdb]

Oscar..that "paneled" wallet is cool. I like it. Sort of Pecan maybe?

EJ...that story is cool too. That guy had a lot of karma stored up.

wow wow wow!!!! UPS pulled up today and I just knew it wasn't another Matchbox car from eBay for my little guy!!!!!! Yes, my pif from Tazzman arrived! HOORAY!!!!!

It's like I had my mind read! It's perfect! It is an absolutely gorgeous checkerboard, with hand painted pieces in a little pouch of their own. I love it! (So glad it wasn't chess since I never did get the hang of that...) I love board games, and this will be a great one to teach our son.

Thank you! I am beyond ecstatic! (pics to follow when I clear some space on my camera...)

I am glad you like it Holly! My son helped with this project (The gold "crowns" on the back of the checkers were by his hand and he helped with some of the staining on the squares).

Here are the pics, as promised...

The only thing I didn't love was the blasted packing peanuts in the box...bane of my existence from moving so often...

I am AMAZED at the PIF that Bob has sent. Incredible workmanship on this folding knife sheath. To see something this quality right here in my hand is just awesome. I don't know how to thank you Bob. This is one knife & sheath that will be on display in my home for awhile and by my side for many years. I've carried my last one for over 25 years but, this is so special I'm replacing my old standby.

Thank you Bob. Makes me want to find a way up to BC just to shake your hand. This is THE best leather peice that I have.

Hilly ,I have received my "paying it forward" item, and I am in awe,Hilly has sent me a fantastic sheridan notebook cover. I absolutely LOVE it and am in awe of her talent. She tells me she has only been carving for 6 months. This gift is something I will treasure for ever. She even carved my name inside to further personalise this gift. Thank you, thank you, thank you.I have attached some photos so everyone can have a drool.Here is photo 2

Got my PIF from superchute2. It's a very nice wine carrier. The tooling is fantastic, very well constructed, nice colors. An all around spectacular piece. Thank You!

There was also a nice little keychain, but the wife has confiscated that one already.

I'm starting to feel a bit guilty, everyone is recieving theres and I havn't gotten mine out to Tina yet. Wouldn't ya know it I got busy. I know what its going to be though.

Thank you again superchuted dad.
