Title: Vine Maple Stave Raffle winner...
Post by: DuBois on June 21, 2016, 02:07:55 pm
I was at my mother in laws couple of days ago and found this vine maple in the rafters of her garage. I got it from Bryce in trade back in 2013 and felt strongly that I wanted to somehow do something meaningful with it for Bryce...so I got permission to raffle it off and give him the proceeds. 69" long, 2.75" at the narrowest, and 1.5" thick.

I believe in the integrity of you folks and hope you believe in mine, so we will do this on the honors system.

Any member can pledge $10 per entry and I will keep track of the pledges. I'll give it 2 weeks and then draw a name. Money will be sent to me and then I'll pass it on to Bryce when raffle is completed. I will send the amount pledged by all entries.

Yes, I think it is. I've never used VM but I'm sure Bryce sent me a good one.

Bryce just said to get it all together and then send it to him so I'm gonna shoot him a check for the $270 instead of waiting til it all shows up here.

SWEEET!!!! I truly did not expect to win the raffle, I have horrible luck with raffles. I just hope I can make you, Bryce, and the stave proud when it comes time to put the work into it. Thanks a bunch for getting this together and going.

Thanks,
Kyle

No problem folks. There was a reason I had that stave (and not because I was intimidated by the only vine maple I had ever touched)

Kyle, I'm sure you'll do something cool with it and I want to see it someday when it's done bud.
