You're right it does look bloody terrific, fabulous even. Great work.

Well you hooked me! I was starting to think "why would undies put an expensive blank on a Jr Gent1??"

I should have known better

Great discovery!

Cheers,

Graeme

I've made many pens from garden stakes

You sod Undies, ya got me good as I went straight to the pic, then read the story. Great pen by the way.

Very nice pen but why spend a fortune at the green shed when you can buy them cheap at Masters

It really just goes to show you that you don't really have to spend a lot of money on pen blanks if you just look around you never know what you might find

well done I love it


Cheers Ian

I shop at the big green shed for mainly jarrah.
They have a heap of small lengths suitable for slimlines etc
I usually spend 15-20 minutes picking thru what the have.
Cheap as.

Nice one mate I work in the Big green shed might have to have a look around ;-) looks awesome mate job well done

Ian

Great find! Not sure what this shed is, or if it's in your backyard, but the blank came out great!



Once found a shipping pallet behind a local big chain store that yielded roughly 50 pen blanks worth of nicely spalted white oak......hmmm, might need to drive through that spot again?







Scott (nicely done) B

Lol the big green shed is Bunnings one of our hardware warehouses over hear lol ;-)

Brilliant find! What a great looking pen. Someone will be very happy with that one.

Super pen!! The title sucked me in!!

great pen and great thread title

and knowing those pen blanks Bunnies sell, you'll probably get more than one pen out of it

I was looking at their cyprus garden pickets yesterday but decided I had enough cyprus for the time being, but it was all nice and knotty and gnarly

Those cypress pickets have some amazing grains and details and I
recently spent $1.10 of my hard earned money and purchased one.
Reckon I could get a dozen pens out of it, each one with special
features. The leftover bits can go into the fire.
