    A Question:

    This is a false claim. Tom requires 7 years of sleeping on a rice mat in the corner of the shop, sweeping up dust, before allowing you to even touch the wood. Most of these carvers just watched a YouTube video with Tom in it.

    Magnet Topped?

    Hey! That's my pipe. Had to check my cabinet before I realized I bought mine direct from Yashtalov and not from SP. Looks almost identical.

    I just called and confirmed that the Westin has cancelled all reservations and events through the 4th. I have cancelled all of my plans. I think they should just skip this year. A poor performing show later this year will be worse than skipping 2020 and coming back strong in 2021.
