When responding to Hughie's (aussie) New Zealand chain saw thread a few days ago I mentioned that I was going to be in N.Z and did he know of any contacts. He gave me an email address, and since I have been in touch with Terry Scott (Auckland, NZ) who has offered to get me blanks and mail or meet me at airport, etc. Unfortunately he is 5 hours away from where I will stay, and getting wood onto plane with customs etc. He said he'd ship some to me!!!! Also invited me to meetings, but alas I am not there at those times . So nice of him . I think wood turners all over are nice!!!!!! Merry xmas to all, Gretch
