Thread: Cooper Wattle

Darren,
It really saddens me greatly to hear about that young fellow. However, it also reinforces my determination to keep on talking to my kids about the dangers of driving and of other drivers.
Is that two different pens or just a slight change in angle? Either way, it/they are beautiful. Very intriguing design. I really like how the end of the clip matches up to that one bevel. Nicely done.

Cheers,

Rick

Rick the photos are of the same pen it is half sapwood and half truewood. The clip matching with the bevel was good luck instead of good management measure about 8mm if I remember rightly and it should sit there just nice. Yeah his nickname was Superman and his sister and I watch the sky for a satlelite and we say it is him doing a fast lap. It was a freak accident, less than normal speed, wet road car lost control on a oil slick surface, left the road and hit the only tree there was. He always made people laugh and I have made pens from this timber for his friends. This one I will give to his sister.

Beautiful gesture, Darren. (Beau Geste). And a beautiful pen, too. All the best to her.
