  • Hey, Graham!

    From Leonard Blaisdell@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jul 15 11:17:12 2025
    My wife graduated with two friends. They married. Life happened, and she
    gave them a set of her "Russian Nesting Purses" at a reunion.
    Today, by complete surprise, we got this in the mail. It's a
    handcrafted, by him, Lazy Susan.
    I thought of you.

    Nice! That purple wood in the centre looks like
    purpleheart, Peltogyne spp., from Central and South America.
    I've cut up the last pieces I have into pen blanks.

    I had the rudest customer service on a phone call today. I won't repeat
    that they said when I called the Suppository Helpline.

    Let me guess. They weren't willing to have someone
    come to your house to demonstrate or they had no
    helpful online videos?? I'd complain if I were you
    and mention how rude they were as well.

    I've cut up the last pieces I have into pen blanks.


    According to the note, the wood is purpleheart, padauk and maple.
    I was only familiar with maple, and not that familiar with it.
    The only wood that has stuck with me, from 8th grade shop class, is
    mahogany. I don't think that purpleheart was an option back then. :)

    The padauk is usually a beautiful reddish colour when fresh-cut,
    Like many woods, it turns brown with exposure, especially to sunlight.

    I only know mahogany from Diana Ross.
