    Smile Finished at long last

    Gents.
    Here is pics of 20 out of 70 pens made for my sons wedding. (pic 1)
    Allso with the final swords for signing. (pic 2)
    Thanks to Amos for the engraving on the swords.
    Now my part of the wedding costs are covered. ( look out for the free beer )
    All Slimlines are mixture of 20%- 25%-50% silver with the purple. That being the brides favourite colour.

    Well done on a labour of love Often times it is all to easy to go to the shops and buy gifts for the weddings , nothing can equal a personal and hand made thing of beauty that is also useful Each has a little of your soul and caring embedded in it and will be appreciated all the more for that cheers ~ John
    G'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!

    Thumbs up

    Have to agree with John's sentiments.

    Like the variety of shapes you have achieved. That is one way to make what could be a boring,repetitive task more enjoyable.

    Well done Cookie, a labour of love but all will be gob smacked when they get them. You might even get a order or two from them.

    Enjoy the wedding and the beer.

    Our youngest and his wife have just given birth to twin boys so that a few more that I have to make.

    Great work Cookie. Each is made individual by the different shapes you have turned. The guests will love them.
