I just couldn't resist and I need to be working right now. Deadline in two hours. Feisty only had one stabilized. It's on a journey to new home right now. Not because she didn't absolutely love it but at new home it will be loved, adored, cherished, used as much as it should be.
I do have one of only 15, I am told, of the first production edition of Wood REO with the numbers stamped on catchcup. It came from classies. It is in pristine condition, btw. I doubt it was ever used much. I'll post pic later when have more time. Up until about a year ago, before peeps really caught on and before we realized Robert just wasn't going to have the time any more to produce many Wood REOs, it was much easier to snag them from classies. I have gotten a few from trades. I have a Black Palm 14500 Woodvil. I think there were only two made. TennDave has the other. It is gorgeous!!!! But prone to swelling, more than others, in high humidity. Needless to say that one doesn't get near my hot tub. Robert will probably never do Black Palm again as it is so extremely difficult to work and not fun to work. AND, the much easier to work Wenge, like Mudflap's, is just as beautiful and almost a spitting image of the Black Palm.
So, to hold me over, for stabilized, I have a NOT-REO box coming, on loan to see if I like it. And, it's orange, a color I have rejected all my life. (And haven't worn because the color is not good on me. And, yes, I have a few recently acquired orange tee shirts, but they are a political statement garb.) My Orange Mini 2.1 REO really changed my appreciation for the color orange!!!!! I doubt there is any other orange as perfect as the Orange REO.
Be well, Fine REO Folk.
