    I agree with the cane toad skin pen.

    Default Troy

    Neat collection there. I particularly care for the tapering centre fit.

    The colours are fascinating and give life to the pens. Scary Cane Toad. I experienced so many of them in Hawaii a long time ago where they were underfoot and everywhere.

    Congratulations on your win, well deserved for mine.

    Regards Peter.

    hmm maybe greedy but total prize money only $14.00

    Ah well, at least you can claim to be an award winning pen turner and charge twice as much for them
