I think that Tom Kirkman may be behind a insideous scheme to pay the rodbuilding community back for the inconveinence of his back issue Rodmaker Magazine storage problem.

I watched him do the flocking demo in Charlotte last year with the canister and the tiny little 3 oz bags of nylon flock. I figured out that his demo was just a "come on" by using the small bags. I figured that I would be smart by ordering the larger bags of flock fiber. At the time, I thought I had really saved a fortune by purchasing the nylon fiber in bulk!

I have now been flocking for almost a year and have done a large number of rod grips. I have almost four times the number of full bags of flock than I started with. It is growing! I have talked with Ralph O'Quinn and he has experienced the same thing. Each time I do a batch of grips the stuff has babies! I really think the stuff is really an alien life form.

This morning I did 10 split grips. When I got through I took a handful of the Wine Colored Donjer Flock and threw it in my cash drawer to see if the stuff could teach the few George Washingtons present how to multiply.
