Wood You Believe...
A neat bag-o-wood, suitable for model-making, art projects and hobbies of all sorts. The balsa bag weighs almost 3/4 of a pound, and is a random assortment of balsa that may range from 1/8" square strips to a 5" long x 2" square hunk, and lots in between. The basswood may have half a dozen 5" long x 2" square pieces, 8" x 3" sheets, and a whole bunch of 1/16" to 1/8" strips. Whatever the variety of sizes, either bag will total approx 72 cubic inches in all, which is more than it sounds like.

Absorbing Junior
When the dinky self-sticking pads you can get at the hardware store just aren't enough.... Our black neoprene rectangles are 1-1/4" x 3-5/8" x 7/16" thick. The self-adhesive foam pads cushion impacts, reduce vibrations, absorb shocks. Sounds like a perfect gift for the parents of a teen-aged male, but don't pass up the chance to own (10) of these great little pads yourself!

Wonder-Sponge Stuff
PVA blocks. You'll get (6) blocks of polyvinyl alcohol sponge, 3-7/8" x 1-7/8" x 1-1/8". PVA is the stuff that Rubbermaid® PVA mop-heads are made from. Dries super-hard and very dense (might even be carve-able, or workable with wood tools when dry) but is extremely absorbent when soaked for a while in water. The blocks make very nice sponges, but we suspect myriad arts and crafts uses for this stuff. Please call us as you discover them.

Tongue Too Happy?
You'll need some tongue depressors. You couldn't beat these with a stick-these familiar little wooden slats, 6" long x 3/4" wide x 1/16" thick, ideal for model-making, gardening (Where'd we plant the radishes, Marge?), crafts and school projects. Use them as coffee stirrers that will actually stir something, dip them for pocket-sized paint samples, use 'em as campfire or fireplace starters. Our each is a pack of (50), individually paper-wrapped, which is not to say sterile.

Celestial Inspiration
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-This toy is or contains a small ball. Not for children under 3 yrs.
The planets. You can own them. These wood balls with holes drilled in them (but not through them) were meant to be planets and moons for a solar system model. Do it yourself. You and your kids will learn a lot more than if you bought a kit that does all the thinking for you. Some balls are painted bright colors, some are varnished natural wood. Most have at least one 1/4" hole, some have smaller holes. They could also be joints and/or finials for some kind of dowel construction. Nothing to stop you from drilling new holes for a truly custom project.

Foam Bumper
Born to live on an ignominious exercise device of some sort, this sturdy, black, open-cell foam cylinder is 5-1/2" long x 2-7/8" dia with a 1/2" ID bore through its center. We see it threaded on nylon rope for life as a pool-lane or lakefront-swimming-area divider, or as a tasteful boat bumper. (Yes, it floats.) But it has lots of bumper-type, uses, too, like slipping a couple behind a step-on garbage can to keep it from bumping into the kitchen wall. Just for starters. Think about the potential….

Oh. Rings!
Yes. O-rings. In black, fairly firm, closed-cell rubber, 3" OD x 2-1/2" ID x 3/4". If you don't have any unmet gasket needs, these also make nice bowling ball stands, ring-toss supplies, tires for custom-made wooden toy wheels, and perfect spill-preventing stabilizers around the bottom of large styrene coffee cups on copywriters' desks.

Attention, Ukrainian Artists!
At last! The pysanka display device you've been looking for! Balance each magnificent Easter egg in a 1-7/16" OD ring, 5/8" thick, with a 13/16" bore. The heavy ring looks like unglazed white ceramic and provides a stable, attractive base for the egg. If you're not into pysanky, the ring lends itself to countless other craft or decorative uses. If what you're into is electricity, you recognize this as a teflon core ring, and you know what to do with it -- sell it to the nearest Ukrainian.

Flat Marbles
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-This toy is or contains a marble. Not for children under 3 yrs.
They look like glass marbles that were dropped on a cold slab when the glass was molten. Hence they have a flattened blob shape, about 1/4" thick and as big as 1" x 3/4" or as small as 1/2" dia. across. All are translucent. Talented folk use them in flower arrangements, to fill a jar or glass as decoration or for similar tasteful purposes. The rest of us use them for joke marbles, non-jumping tiddlywinks and board game pieces. Our each is a bag of (100) marbles.
