    Magnifico pen mate !. It's a pity the kits are so pricey, I'd love to do half a dozen of them, but then, I spose tif they were cheaper, they wouldn't be so special. Great work

    That's a beauty. Very rich looking.
    When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.

    Pariss,

    You can afford to do them Elegant Beauty one piece pens 7.00 two pens from every blank,set your needs alongside your budget and presto the world is better place , remove the itch or put it on the back burner. Where you live me and my mate bought terrific timber recently figure out how far that is away we are both battlers. I live in Canberra you live in the heartland for real neat stuff. The grass is always greener. Every Opal I ever fancied starts at 5000 dollars so I dont look at them any more but admire them greatly like flamed grain in Cocobolo Burl.etc etc. Go get some Hairy Oak, cut it on the right angle voila take your breath away, you are only a heat beat away from Purple Gidgee as well. Look for Orange Box Wood and so on.Look on E Bay Buy it now prices etc.

    Have fun.

    Kind regards Peter.

    It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
