Received my parcel from my partner, UKPenmaker, today. In fact I went to the post office today to send his parcel off and it turned in to a swap at the post office. His parcel was sent last Friday and had turned up today.
The contents blew me away, not only was there a beautiful Baron fountain pen, closed end and custom finial in Yew, for me in there, but also an Elegant Beauty in Laburnum for SWMBO as well.
Both in boxes specially labeled with our names on them.
As well as this Andy sent some very nice timber blanks, Yew, Laburnum and Horse Chestnut, and a couple of very spiffy looking acrylics.
Thank you very much from both of use Andy, you have made the 2011 Australia Day Pen Swap a memorable one for both Johanna and I

Glad they arrived safely Fred, pretty quick too!
That was the first custom finial that i have done, thought i would push myself i bit for the swap, i even managed to get it done in about 4 attempts
Excellent job on the photos Fred, couldn't have done better myself.
Pleased that you like the pens, will let you all know when mine arrives.

Pen from USA
Received my pen from Nicholas (woodminister) today,along with some great blanks. I am very happy with it all.
The pen is made from Desert Ironwood and is great.
The blanks are from top of pic
Mesquite, Desert Willow, Rosewood, Desert Ironwood.
Here is hoping I can do justice to them.
Once again thanks Nicholas.

Whooohooo
I got a package from Bernie (BClapcott) today. He sent me three cool blanks of Huon pine, and huon pine burl and tiger myrtle. Tucked in the package was a sweet pair of fine writing instruments. First was a Huon Birdseye Pine Navigator (looked like huon birdseye.) A beautiful job on the workmanship. Very smooth, good finish, and great wood choice. Second was a slimline in what looks like Banksia pod! Very cool look. I'm sure he'll correct my mistakes here so I'll know. That is a sweet looking pen as well. You rock dude! Thaks a whole bunch Bernie!

Thanks Ben
Sorry about taking so long to post but here's the pen I received from bench1holio.
Ben did a great job on the pen and really made me feel welcome. I'll be looking forward to next years swap.
The pen is Coolibah burl on a Baron. Can't wait to turn the blanks.

Pen swap
I recieved my pens from John ( Gawdelpus) today. The only thing I can say is WOW. It is a silver and gold pen and pencil set that is one of the best pens I have ever recieved. The workmanship is fantastic and the material is ...well fantastic also. Also the blanks are some I have never had so I can hardly wait to turn them I will try to get a picture later to post. John you have made me rethink the pen I was going to send so it is back to the drawing board . Hope to get it in the mail by next week.
