Pay Day!
I usually don't make pens for sale anymore.
This was for a old customer(his not old, his just a customer who has been buying off me for a long time) who had a special request that I couldn't refuse.
He owns a chain of Retirement Villages and he wanted to send out a pen to each of his Managers. I ordered 20 so I made 22 for him to choose from.
He ended up taking all 22.
After he picked up the pens, he wanted me to make another 30 for him as some more corporate gifts for his next Retirement Village that he is in the process of buying.
If only orders like this came around every week.
All burl Eucalypt (stringy bark) Roman Harvest Rollerballs.
Timberbits.

Very nice work. Nice commission too. But then you've worked hard to develop your reputation and business. Time to reap some rewards.

Hi David,
Impressive beautifully finished Euc Burl all in a row how could anyone choose or separate.
Makers, Sellers, Hobbyists succeed as you do because you have soul it displays in your pens and with any contact I have ever had with you.
They the results sell themselves, proud you are a friend.
Kind regards Peter.

Hey David. Each pen is a work of art. Beautifully made !!. Beats me where you'd find the time to do them. I'm battling to turn out several pens a week
I never forget anything I remember !!
