I received 2 very special 18490 woodvils today !!

[Big Hitter]

I contacted Rob to see about purchasing an 18490 woodvil in "raw" form so I could shape and finish it myself.
Of course as always he said "no problem my friend" ......
And BTW, I was going to gift you a prototype cocobolo so I can send that in the same box as well.

Say What ??? I was floored .....

So today arrived my special package

Thank you Robert, they are perfect as always.

few quick pix

The 18490 is vaping like a dream

WOW Tim! Those are very nice! And that special gift is gorgeous! Robert just has a way of finding his little place in our hearts doesn't he? He is more than just our "go to" guy for REO's, he is a friend! You deserve that cocobolo Tim! Congrats!

Santa Rob visited you early, you must have been a VERY good boy! What a wonderful gift!!! Hope you will share pics of the 18490 you finish!

Thanks everyone, its funny I didn't even notice the unfinished oak has REO stamped in the door until I saw the pics

Thats cool, because I'm thinking of shaping more like my first woodvil which has the REO on the door as well.

Just realized the cocobolo prototype doesn't have the on-off switch ..... thats awesome, I never ever use them.

Glad they made it to you safely Tim If I new you wanted the reo in the door I wouldn't have sanded it off If you want another door I can send one my friend,You may need to trim it a whisker . I believe I have a few oaks with the reo in the door .
