    Hey There,

    I had a new client have a look at my pen collection at work the other day (Thursday), and he took a liking to a Camphor Laurel Australiana Streamline, He then asked if I could get it Laser engraved, so he could take it back to the Oil rig he works on (in the Gulf of Iran) before Saturday, I called my Laser engraver guy and he said bring it round. Then the Client decided that he would like a Fountan pen in the same Timber, could he take that on Saturday as well. I had to convince him that it wasn't a stock item I would have to Glue up, turn, finish and assemble, and I also have a real job, so he's picking up the fountain Pen when he comes back on the next swing, about 3 weeks.

    As mentioned above, the timber is Camphor Laurell (E Bay), and the kit is a Junior Victor Gold (Timberbits)

    Also a pic of the Aussie Streamline

    Comments welcome

    Thanks for looking

    It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

    As an ex oil field worker and pen maker Wow! Great job I am sure you will get lots more orders when he shows them around the rig.
