Thread: Kid in a candy store!

I have a dilemma, gentlemen...

In the space of the last 24 hours, the following have come into my life:

- some G10, faux ivory, bone blanks, and honey horn blanks from Masecraft
- a mini lathe
- some yellowheart turning stock, a forstner bit, and a brush knot from Lee Valley
- a 35-lb hunk of soapstone

No prizes for guessing whose tax return came through the other day...

So where do I start? Scales for the half-dozen or so naked blades sitting in my drawer? Have a bash a turning a brush handle or two? Attack the soapstone to see what it turns into?

I'm feeling paralyzed by too many options here, so suggestions are more than welcome...
