I didn't mean to scare Keekers and kind of sorry I told her that her loaner Mini Woodvil ........ "Mikes" Teak Mini is in that special group, too. RELAX KEEKERS PLEASE. It is a "battle tank" Woodvil!!!!! Hugs, Feisty Alice
I actually love the fact that I never really chose which one I wanted and when I got in.. I just went to one of the pages and clicked on one without really looking to see what it was. They are all beautiful and I am honored to have been able to get one. I'm not really interested in the metal grands so I won't be participating in that sale (that'll leave one for someone who really does want one) but when another batch of vv woodvils come out, I'm going to do the same thing.. choose one randomly. I've always looked at the Reo's but was wanting a vv. This is my very first Reo!! I hope my batteries get here by the time I get the mod!

So, without sounding too greedy, when can we expect shipping notices? Okay, sorry, there's no way that doesn't sound greedy.
When he prints the shipping labels. Should start seeing those roll through tomorrow & Tuesday.So, without sounding too greedy, when can we expect shipping notices? Okay, sorry, there's no way that doesn't sound greedy.
I know I know it's selfserving but it looks so much better when its big and I forgot (seeing everyones natural wood REOs) how gorgeous they can be...er...um...besides I ran out of different threads I can post it.
REO WOODVIL JATOBA/TEAK
I've been coveting Karens "Peter" ever since she got it in her hot little hands. Soon after she posted pictures I started groveling to Robert. I may not have been able to get it if I hadn't ordered an 801 connection because my chances of snagging it would have been equal, or less equal due to on/off DSL connection, sprinkled with some pluses for being patient and not messing with unnecessary refreshing during sale. It so happens that I love 801 attys so, for those of us "oddballs" (Tripp's words) who enjoy 801, we have a little bit better chance of scoring our first choice in WOOD. Several of our Woodvils are 801 connection including the old Woodys and all three 18490s.
I'm sending several good sized boards of Pink Ivory to Robert this week for future Woodvils. Besides being a very fine grained wood, and polishing up looking like glass, it is one of the red colored woods that are a bit less UV sensitive. It works easily, too, so Robert should enjoy working with it. Only downside is it is outrageously expensive and very hard to get quality pieces of good size.
I'm going to so love using BW/Spalted and will forever have warm snugly feelings for Karen and Robert every time I use it or look at it. Of course I so love using any REO but this one will go into the "Supremely Special Sentiment" group.
