    Box of wood up for grabs

    I'd like to get another box of wood ready to ship out and I have some recipients in mind, but I'm having a hard time deciding which one, so I thought I'd throw it open with a little contest of sorts.
    Hopefully this will be ok with the moderators, if not then I'm sure we'll find out shortly.

    The recipient will be chosen purely by chance. I've sent myself a pm where I've chosen a number between 1 and 250. It's already in my inbox and it is time stamped.

    At the conclusion, I will post a screenshot of the pm.

    If you want to try your luck, just post a reply with your number between 1 and 250 (only 1 post per person please and no pm's please) before 11:00 pm AZ time on 2/1/12 (wednesday).

    The winner will be the 1st post with the correct number. If no one chooses the exact number, the winner will be the closest number to the actual number (in the case of a tie, I will ship 2 boxes).

    I will pm the winner with a choice of woods and their preference for blank size(s). The blanks will be cut this weekend and shipped next week.

    Due to financial considerations (considering my finances are few), anyone outside of the US would need to cover any shipping over and above Large Priority Flat Rate (about $15.00).

    Good Luck and let the games begin!

    Kathy, I am very willing to send you the $15 or so for the Flat Rate box. Getting wood at my overseas military location is not easy. There certainly isn't any hardwood here in Japan.

    My high school son, the mathematician, tells me to select 171. Good luck all.

    Thank-you for the opportunity,
