Bump
Thanks all that have submitted so far. I think the rule should be that when you receive your partner you discuss with them what style you would like and if you want timber or acrylic or any other material. I agree with Stirlo that you need to make a nice pen in a quality kit.
The last one I did for OS was a black Ti baron in brown mallee and I actually received two nice Americans back all laser engraved including a wooden box
Spread the word we need more players

Hi guys!
I wish I could participate, but I'm really behind in orders, and things are getting really busy again at work. Seems like every free moment I get I'm either catching up on pens, cleaning the shop, or prepping wood to sell.
Frankly, I'm kind of knackered, but I guess that's part of the joy of an expanding business. Gah.
I look forward to seeing all the photos, though!

I'd be interested in a general pen blank swap. I'll have a heap of English Oak blanks soon due to off-cuts from some small slabs. Maybe I should put this in another thread.
HH.Always look on the bright side...

I'd be in for OS or DOM .. but the poor fool who gets me for a swap partner should understand that I'm still fairly new at all of this. I'm not sure I would know a good kit from a bad one, but I've got some 'other' kits, too. I wouldn't shortchange anyone on anything but the primitive workmanship ..

HH.
I think you should start a new thread for blank swaps but please consider being in the pen swap a lot of fun and we now have some OS onboard could be the start of something good

I would be happy to participate in this pen swap. Overseas or domestic, makes no never mind to me. Thank you for the invitation!
I've got Churchills, Flat Top Americanas, and Titanium Sierras in stock. Plenty of timber also.
When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.

I have a candidate from the US forum TPS who would like to participate but as she belongs to 6 forums and a moderator on one does not really want to register
What's your thoughts I say she can join the swap what say you

I might need some help here. In the spirit of the pen swap and the possibility of pens going overseas, I jumped in the car and headed down to some places that has some decent (I think) 'exotic woods'. (ie. Rockler, Woodcraft etc)
One place had a sale on 'Australian burls' at a pretty decent price per board foot, but when I went to pay, it rang up as one board foot instead of 2.6bf, 3.1bf etc.. so I bought more.
The problem is, they're not identified except for initials. One says JZ, one says AM and one says MA.
Can anyone identify them from these pics?
The one that says JZ has some beautiful figuring in parts of it, but checked and cracked, so I'll need to work this one like a gem cutter, I think.
