Here is the free pen blank receiving system and how it works:
1) A person sends in a request for a box. Please include shipping address and note if there is some type of wood you don't want (like Oak). This inclusion will only have to be done once and I will note it on the wall for future reference.
2) I put their name at the bottom of the list.
3) When I fill a box I mail it to the first name on the list. (when a box is received, if that person wants back on the waiting list, they need to send in another request)
4) I then start on the next name on the list.
Some things to remember:
1) I don't make a lot of scrap. I don't make a lot of boxes due to real life things like coaching and remodeling. And I only mill lumber every once in a while and usually only a small tree that someone gives me. This means it could be a either long wait for a mixed box or, if I mill, a whole lot of boxes could be sent out with the same species.
2) Due to the unknown length of time between boxes sent out, I will just handle the shipping. That makes the surprise even nicer when you get one I think.
3) Also, to keep things flowing amongst the participants, I will only do 10 blanks per box.
