Pen Blanks

While cleaning out the shop I found a few more crappy curly maple pen blanks. Same game, I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10. The first person to guess the number gets the planks, plus a few more that wouldn't fit on my scanner. 1 guess per person please, good luck guessing

Thanks

I'll be happy to pay you for another one if you have anything at all and could you bring it when you come to Mayberry?

Oh, yeah... I guess 4.
Mike you should have let me know you didn't recieve the burl via the NC Pony Express... I refunded the amount you paid via paypal, check your email, you should have a refund from me. I plan on coming up to mount airy sometime twords the end of summer / beginning of fall - you got first dibs on any burls I have and I'll personally deliver this time.

Thanks

Mike don't sweat it... I'm sure it'll work it's self out sooner or later. Everyone's good folk on this site, something may have came up that we don't know about. But I'm confident that hunk of burl will surface sooner or later. Until it does and you have it in your hands and are happy with it, I really can't hang on to your money, it would give me a guilty conscience and that's one I try to avoid.

I'll keep an eye out for you, I've been sawing a fair amount lately and I'm sure I can find something to bring with me on my trip up into the mountains.

Thanks
