Providence, witness wood, COA timber
Just a small part of verified timbers. 6000 yr old Bog Oak from The Fens, Stonewall Jackson's prayer tree, exhibition grade BOW, Harry Potter timber from the great hall of Christ Church College in Oxford, Shawshank Redemption Tree white oak and timber from Florence Mill, the Mormon winter quarters.
This is just some of my collection, even if it is from somewhere in the world, it has Providence. If a pen has a story with it, history, people will love it. Someone will relate to it. FB_IMG_1498574680111_1510240416380.jpg

Glad there are some Aussies getting their mits on all that stuff I see all over the web thinking 'thats pretty Cool'
I haven't been around long (in comparison) and have noted both your amazing artistic talent and genuine excitement for this craft and am glad you have returned to posting your amazing works.
Thanks for sharing and look forward to drooling over your upcoming projects!"All the gear and no idea"

Looking good, except BOW is a con. They may well be coming from Bethlehem but there is no way all the BOW blanks come from trees in Bethlehem. Indeed I know for a fact a lot of Aust olive wood is sold to Bethlehem only to be onsold from there as BOW
