I have received a great package from Peter (USNR'03)
in Virginia U.S.A.
He informed me that the pen is a "Gadsby with M3
Black lava and Cobaltium" and it will make a wonderful
addition to my collection.
Peter, and my other swap partner HazzaB, have been
advised that I have just had an operation on my ear
and things have been delayed. The skin graft has been
performed, stitches removed and hopefully I will soon
carry out my part of the deal.
Thank you for your patience guys.

Some very nice swaps happening.
I have sent both of my parcels - dlbourke has received hers in Vic Aust and BSea should be getting his in USA any time soon. Forgot to take a pic of what I sent Deb so she'll have to post a pic for me :B did remember before I put the OS one in the mail but will wait until it lands.

I have sent pens and blanks to both partners in this years swap.:cool:
I have received a fantastic bolt action pen and some very good pen blanks from 'Rippa' in WA.
This will be a great addition to my collection as I haven't got one of these, thanks Rippa :wink:
I am having difficulty in posting a picture:?

The swaps have been awesome so far. The "Wormy Persimmon" set was my favorite so far. Mailed off my first swap and trying to get the finish done on the second. This one has been giving me fits. On my third try. Keep the pics coming.
ok heres the pen i got from jack hunt , its a slimline dressed in western myall also came with a heap of nice blanks
I was at work and received a call from the wife...she wanted to know what I bought that needed to be signed for from Australia! Told her that I hadn't bought anything, so she opened it the box to make sure:oo: So not right!!! But since she is the one that does most of the 'good cooking' around here, I'll let her get a pass on this....but just this time(hope she don't read that, I'll be buried in the backyard under the mill):D
Anyway, I get home and find everything nicely stacked, and her standing there with a smile...telling me I am gonna love it(cause apparently she is thinking she gets to keep it)!!
First the wood goodies)

Thanks so much for the swap. I will treasure (and use ) the pen.

Thanks Mike, I looked up your tutorial on the IAP site and now I can use some of the bags of offcuts that have reproduced in my offcut box.
HazzaB
My pen from HazzaB arrived today and Harry did an excellent job on the fit and finish.
The pen is a Knight and the wood is York Gum Burl.
I'm not familiar with the Knight kit but I'm going to look into getting a few.
I really like the size.
