    Default Awesome Pen from MrPukaShell

    I got Robert's pen several weeks ago, but I just finally got around to shooting & uploading pictures.

    The pen is an awesome Hawaiian Koa on an elegant cigar. Beautifully done, Robert - the fit and finish are awesome. Thanks also for giving me some hints on how I can improve my finishes.

    Robert also sent an amazing medium flat rate box full of goodies. Lots of Hawaiian pen blanks, a couple of big chunks of buckeye burl, some cholla cactus, some corian, and a whole bunch of chopsticks. It's amazing the uses you can find for chopsticks in a woodshop.

    Thanks Robert - you really outdid yourself and this is a pen that I will treasure.

    Default Awesome Pen from Sturina

    I got Stuart's pen a couple of weeks ago, but I just finally got around to shooting & uploading pictures.

    The pen is an awesome Spalted Avocado on a gold plated cigar. Beautifully done, Stuart - the fit and finish are awesome.

    Stuart also sent me several aussie pen blanks - all of which are totally new to me. I can't wait to try them out.

    Thanks Stuart - I really enjoyed our chats. It's nice to get to know someone from around the world and even nicer to have a pen from Australia in my collection.

    I picked up my parcel today and managed to get the camera at the same place as the pen that I received from Glenspens.

    Along with the pen I also got quite a few blanks.

    It was a last minute swap but a great surprise to receive the parcel.

    Thank you Glen.

    Default Pen Swap from Write Turnz --Jason

    Just to let you know,

    "The pen is Douglas Fir Bark from the Pacific Northwest. We stabilize it, and it can be turned, just like wood. Who knew?"

    Thanks Jason, I am using this Fountain Pen as my daily pen, I get comments about it all the time. Amos

    Well I have not been on the forum or spending much if any time in the shed due to some personal issues. Due to this I have been running late very late completing my swaps. Thankfully my swap partners have been understanding around my circumstances.

    I received my pen and some extra's from Mr Vic a few weeks ago but it has unfortunately been damaged in transit. The damage appears to be the result of the package being dropped on its end. It is a shame as it is a fine looking pen.

    Pics here P4150484 -sm.jpgP4150485 -sm.jpg


    The pen included some timbers new to me that I will have fun using, Persimon, African Mahogany, Birdseye Maple, TRex (teeth not included), Flamin Box Elder & Tiger Wood.

    Today I posted out the Pen I have made and some extra's for Mr Vic and returned the pen he made so he has the opportunity to repair the damage.

    I did converse with Vic (email) about the damage and he advised that it should be brought up on the forum as a warning to all to ensure you package your pens carefully when posting to hopefully avoid any damage.

    I have partially completed my other pen swap for mick61 and will endeavour to have it fully completed and posted next week.

    Thanks to all for understanding.

    That is a bit of a shame of it being dropped.

    Good thing for Mach70 to try and complete his pen swap.

    I'll be keeping an eye out for the package Shawn. The post office left me a notice for last years swap package. Since it went throught customs they required a signature. When I drove over to sign and pick it up they couldn't find it. I raise holly bejesus and the Post Master personally delivered it to the house.


    I'll have to dissasemble, sand off the CA and then refinish the pen. I'll make darn sure to over package it for the return trip.

    Default Swap Complete - Almost

    Glad to announce I received my swap pens with goodies from Joanne (josquiggley) last Monday and Shawn (Mach70) on Tuesday. I didn't get to my shop to photo them as it was about 20 degrees, snowing and I have no Insulation in my shop. The relatives arrived...

    Both pens are fountains and look awesome. The one from Shawn is a Pristina wrapped in "Gidee" if I read correctly. Jo didn't tell me what the wood is but the fittings look similar to the Pristina. I'll get some photos to post this week. Shawn’s damaged pen arrived back with out further damage... I'll be able to sand it down, refinish then send it back.

    Thanks for the swap. By the way today it's in the 80s...Just got to love living in Colorado USA...

    Vic
