Today I went to the Post Office and picked up the lovely pen and box that David Mitchell made for me. He also sent me lots of wood that I have never seen or even heard of some of them. The pen is made of Blackwood. I have tried to post pictures of the pen and box, but I am picture posting disabled. I will try again, but I won't promise that it will work.
I would like to thank Sam for making this possible. It has made the world seem smaller and my community so much larger. I am new to pen turning and after seeing the amazing pens made by all of you I know that I will have to learn lots and turn many more pens before I measure up.
I am attending a Woodturner's Symposium in May in Utah. I am hoping to learn a lot and be able to share with many.
Thanks a lot for this pen swap.
Cindy
