Count me out please Sam.

I've been asked to consider making some pens for fairwell gifts at work (50min, 200max) and I'll be well and truely sick of pens for a while assuming I take it on. I also have some other turnings I need to get done, on top of other wood working projects (I must finish my TV unit, desk + ....)

I will however keep monitoring everyone else's pens though :U

Mine were waiting for me when I got home ... what is Koto? Thankyou so much for labelling each piece, I'm still learning, and bitw without bark/flowers/leaves are often hard to tell apart!

JD

P.S that is some serious copper too, the stuff I have been using is anorexic by comparison!:oo:
