    Default Burl Bonanza.

    I went in a pen swap in the PNPTA and I was matched up with PenPal
    I had a very unexpected phone call Tuesday late arvo , it was Peter to tell me that his swap was ready to post. Fri arvo there is a card in the mail box.





    The stand is Red Mallee burl, the boat is hand carved from Houn Pine.

    While I admiring Peters craftmanship a friend from England knocked on the door, I didnt I hear them Not to worry they come back Sat evening.

    Peter not only made a pen for me He also made one for my wife.
    They are made from Buck eye burl.





    Thank you so much Peter.

    Outstanding pair of pens. The stand is also remarkable, you must be very pleased to recieve that lot.

    Excuse my ignorance, but what does PNPTA stand for ?

    Wow you are a lucky man. Peter sure is a nice bloke and a great pen maker.

    Well done to both of you
    Cheers Rum Pig

    It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
