Thread: Pen Blank Swaps

I received mine quite some time ago now i just have to find time to catch up.

cheers

Received my swap with BDAR, Enough to convert me to be a pen turner!! , So many and so varied, my mouth is watering wanting to eat all at the one time. I've struck wood! thanks Darren. Amos

Amos you are most welcome, sorry about the delay, kids can be expensive even the adopted ones You are already a pen turner my friend, your work has proved it long before now. Now be a good fellow and put them down and stop stroking them and saying they're all mine

I have about 60 slimlines to make and the packs of exotics that Amos has sent me will go a long way to completeing them, that is if I stop procrastinating and finally start them. Thanks again Amos, for everything
Darren

I just got mine from Brown Dog. A great looking bunch of blanks Thanx BD. I can't wait to turn one in particular, and post it. I guess neither one of us can count

See my post on XCUT White American Oak, thanks Darren, Amos

hi Joe

Glad to hear they arrived safely always hold my breath a bit when sending stuff OS.

Which one in particular are you itching to turn....I cant even remember exactly what I sent you now. Looking forward to seeing your efforts

Im still trying to decide what to do with mine....I have one fountain pen kit left and I was saving it for something special/different.....now I cant decide what to use....I really like the Bocote, but I think the curly maple would also look really nice, but on the other hand I also really like the desert Ironwood .

cheers
BD

Hi All
just letting you know that scrollzilla and i have exchanged blanks and they look good
Andrew

BD you have top go with the Desert Ironwood, is the golden variety? It is a SWEET timber to turn and it will complement any kit.

Amos saw the post, mate you have already arrived as a pen turner, if you weren't you would not have done the wonderful job that you have done
