[lace] treating raw wood bobbins? other male lace makers?
I have just bought some raw wood bobbins from the USA, previously all my bobbins have been bought in Australia, and have been plastic. Do I need to seal these wooden bobbins with anything before spangling them? I wanted to find out before starting in with the beads and wire, as spangling is not something I enjoy enough to do twice, especially on about 4 dozen bobbins. Hoping someone here can help me. Also does anyone know of any other male lace makers?

sRe: [lace-chat] Re: coffee and tea preferences-anti-oxidant
I think you are referring to anti-oxidants. Simon ., and what ever the doo-dads are called it's the same as whats in fruit. i forgot what they are called also, but they are in the order of highest amount to least amount: 1. chocolate, 2. wine, 3. fruit, and i don't know what the other ones are.

Re: [lace-chat] Re: coffee and tea preferences
Simon here, I'm mainly a coffee drinker (prefer Nescafe instant, or shopmade cappucchino), drunk white with no sugar.I can't drink black coffee. However, I do sometimes drink tea, only black with no sugar. When I do, I enjoy the variety of Twinings teas (Russian Caravan especially). So if I run out of milk, I drink tea. I am totally a cat person, can't live with dogs at all.

[lace] Lace books on Australian Ebay-advice needed for beginner of the rusty variety
Hi, I'd like an opinion on a couple of lace books currently on the australian ebay (I can't buy overseas as I don't have a credit card). One is knotted lace- does anyone know what on earth that is? Advice on whether they are worth a beginner buying would be appreciated Anyway they are here http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemcategory=82720item=82030399 73rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemcategory=19158item=82029850 60rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemcategory=19158item=82028639 92rd=1 to me this one looks like a knitting stitch holder, I'm sure my mother had some and she didn't do lace http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemcategory=19158item=82025715 80rd=1 for those who are interested, there are also some lovely looking bobbin blanks for turning (love woodwork, but that's a bit ambitious for me) and a book on miniature woodwork including bobbin turning, that has sensibly been listed in lace Hoping for advice Thanks Simon - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace] Help for a very rusty beginner?
Hi, I learned bobbin lace for a very short time many years ago (um, about 20 years), fortunately I still have pillows, bobbins etc. What I don't have as the two I had died because they were left on a pillow and somehow got rusty, is any very simple patterns for a complete beginner, or instructions on the very basic movements/stitches (not sure of the right word here). Is anyone able to perhaps point me towards something online for beginners, or have some kind of pattern they could share that is very basic? I'm not sure what kind of lace I was learning before, except that it had a straight edge on the right and a curved one at the left side, and I did actually get as far as making the edging for a whole hanky once.
