Kim,

	Everything arrived yesterday afternoon.  I cannot tell you how impressed I am.
	Makes my previous blocks look like cheap $5 kits!  No joke!  I wish you were 
	closer; so I could have you teach me how to drill a block.

	This briar looks pretty damn good, too.  Guess I know where to look from now 
	on; until I get going enough to ever order from Mimmo.  I have one big problem 
	though. Block #5 has me completely overwhelmed at the moment.  The volcano I had 
	originally drawn; just will not do this block justice.  SOOO many options with 
	grain like that; I just can't decide.  ;)  Not a bad problem to have!  They all 
	look fantasticly grained and spot on for each shape.

	Thank you very much again.  I think I'll be putting in another order within a couple
	of weeks. We'll see how these start turning and how much I have ready before Chicago.

	Talk to you soon.

	Best always -

	David
