Yesterday FedEx attempted delivery of the B&B prize package from Glaser/Hitec and, if you can believe it, I was not at home! In fact no one was at home which was a bummer because the delivery required a signature! So today I made dang sure someone was here to sign for it. A pretty mundane image to be sure:

BUT... inside... now that's another story. No, it's not a giant set of pick-up sticks but a veritable arsenal of incredible turning tools. (Caution: the following image is very graphic and may incite tool lust in mature adults. Therefore it should only be viewed by those accompanied by children under the age of eleven.)

From top to bottom:
1" Square Edge Scraper
1" Spindle Gouge
7/16" Oval Bowl Gouge
3/4" Skew
7/16" Detail gouge
3/8" Bedan
3/8" Beading Tool
Since I already have two Glaser screw chucks and several larger bowl gouges, I asked Paulo to substitute the Bedan and the beading tool for the screw chuck and the 1/2" bowl gouge that were listed in the prize package. He readily agreed to this so now I have some tools that I have really wanted and needed.
I have to say that I am feeling a bit overwhelmed by this. It has been several weeks now since the excitement of winning the "beauty" competition kept me up for several nights. But today, all of the excitement has returned. I can't thank everyone enough for this. The admins over at WTA, the voters, the judges, Paulo, and everyone who participated, all of you have contributed to making this a great day! And thanx to all of you here on SMC for being here to share it with!
