Regardless who wins or how good the pens are, this is what life should be about. Jerry calling himself a yank and wanting to be a part of our stuff. I'm sure that lots of you have done the same in reverse, I hope to in the future.
Don't worry about me, just raving on

undies

I agree, I think there will be some terrific pens made for this contest. After seeing some of the pens that have been put up in the pen turning forum lately, it makes me think that nobody makes just ordinary pens any more.

this should not put off the begginers either you never know what will take the judges eye

i won't say who the judges are (might lead to bribery

), but they are not necessarily wood turners, great cross section of the wood working community

just open your mind and think outside the box

**MBUMIK** · 29th September 2010, 09:16 PM

**HazzaB** · 29th September 2010, 09:42 PM
