I have taken John up on the offer in the past when I finally received a "piece" from BA.

I wanted a #1 French Lace with about 65-70% density. What I got from BA was easily a #5 and the lace was stiff and orange. Density was not consistent. Some of it was 65, some in the 50s, some in the high 70s!

The piece I got in exchange from John showed up that same week, that's right, that same week, not that same YEAR!

And it looked great and lasted for about 6 months! I was very pleased!
