2011 Australia Day pen swap

**JerrySambrook** · 21st February 2011, 01:00 PM

Got my pen from Sam, and he has already posted pics, but I still took some and here they be.
To start with, I do want to say that this is much better in person that my pics or his convey. I cannot say thank you hard enough.
It is a gorgeously done piece of red malee with an awesome finish on a non-postable jr marshall

Just plain superb work

The four timbers are:
1) huon pine
2) figured myrtle
3) Blackheart Sassafras
4) Rose Oak

Thank You
Sincerely
Jerry Sambrook

There are some truly beautiful pens journeying from one side of the world to the other and this is another great example. Gives us newbies something to aspire to.

Well done Sam, you've done your partner proud, lovely work and presentation

Marla

Hopefully you will get yours today

It just like Christmas when we have these swaps

Received a beautiful Cigar dressed in Red Mallee Burl and five great blanks. Thank you CeeGee. I will put it with my other treasures. It's a real beauty. Can't wait to turn the Mallee blank you sent. Regards, Dudley in Florida, USA.

Recieved my pens from Ozkaban and they are beauties and some nice timber to go with them. I will post pics when Dave recieves his and hopefully he enjoys them as much as I enjoy these.
Cheers
Jerry

Wow!

Marla's parcel has arrived via an extremely fast pigeon, what can I say Marla you have blown me away. Your work is outstanding.

Not only was there a fantastic Steampunk Jnr Statesman FP but there was also 3 fantastic timber blanks with history and if that wasn't enough Marla included 4 of her absolutely beautiful casting two in Chiyogami and two feathers. I can'y wait to turn these they will never be for sale in the private collection, thank you Marla.

Marla is still waiting on her parcel so I hope she enjoys it as much as I have enjoyed receiving form her.

Congratulation on your new new business venture Marla I am sure it will keep you very busy

**Crickett** · 24th February 2011, 10:46 AM

Sam,

I'm glad the package arrive safe and sound ... that was no pigeon, it was a big ole stork, they are the ones that make deliveries on time!!

Glad you like what I sent, I'm told there is a package in my mailbox to pick up when I head home shortly, I'll post pictures if it's the package!!

**Simomatra** · 24th February 2011, 10:52 AM

Cheers Marla fingers crossed that it is the package.

**Ozkaban** · 24th February 2011, 11:20 AM

The quality of pens has been amazing this year... I suddenly wish I had more time to put into mine

Cheers,
Dave

**Seer** · 24th February 2011, 11:27 AM

Dave your pens are great quality and I really like them a lot and hope you like mine as well and the goodies. I figured you would rather have some goodies than a wood pen box.

Fingers crossed must have worked because the package was in the box!!

I love it!! A Jr. Marshall in Lace Sheoak finished with 20 coats of WOP, tucked safe and sound in a beautiful box with Birds eye Huan Pine, Figured Myrtle, Black Heart Sassafras and Rose or Flame Oak local to Sam.

Thank-you so much Sam, I knew I lucked out with as a partner!!
