    Included in the package are some wood from his part of the world and casting that he made up.

    Thank you very much for a great swap. Now I have to get going to making some more pens.

    Default Swap from Cookie48

    I have to say that I was more than pleased when I got home from work the other day. A package was there waiting for me with some awesome blanks and a beautiful presentation box. The box contained a Pristina kit wrapped in a "Wadi Tree". The fit and finish was simply great. I really enjoy these swaps and I hope that "Cookie" gets his package soon and he is as pleased as I am. Thanks for putting this together and look forward to the next swap with my brothers from down under.

    After recovering from a recent operation for cancer
    in my ear I finally got on to the lathe.

    A pen plus blanks were sent today to HazzaB and
    USNR'03 so hopefully they will get them shortly.

    I have received my parcel from dalecamino, (Chuck) once again with this swap I have received pens from an excellent craftsman. I have seen photos of Chuck's work before and these pens live up to his usual high standard, the fit and finish is excellent. The pens are an apprentice jr gent and cigar and will sit very well in my growing swap collection. The selection of blanks are also very welcome, thanks Chuck a pleasure to have you as a swap partner.

    Lovely pens, and a great collection of blanks. I love the realistic fly on the corner of the box. So Australian.

    These swap events are terrific for the exchange of ideas and materials. Roll on to the next one.

    He'd have looked a whole lot better if I'd managed to slam the lid on him. Hot nor/westerly blowing here yesterday and this little fella and about 500 of his mates decided to visit at the time I was trying to take some pics. Got a very blurry close up as I snapped one with his #### hanging over the lens, not a pretty sight

    Finally getting the opportunity to post some photos of the pens and blanks I received from Des (seriola). These pens were cast by Des in Locust Burl with Polyester Resin, and expertly turned and finished. A Black Ti Sedona RB and Chrome Knight BP. The box included a nice collection of timber blanks, which will surely make some nice pens.

    Thanks for your patience Des. It was a pleasure to swap with you.
