    I made a purchase a few years back from them. It definitely was an effort, and as you said, quite expensive postage. Once I got the wood though, I had no regrets. Your pen is, of course, beautiful.

    Cheers,

    Rick

    Peter the wait for the BOW was definately worth it nice colouring and grain and a most special meaning. That is the meaning of pure.
