    Default Pen Swap Package! from CORBS!

    I got my pen swap package in the mail this week. I wasn't sure if this was the correct place to post it, so let me know if this needs to be moved.

    My swap was with Corbs. I received a great Jr. Victor Roller Ball. It is made of Huon Pine and has fourteen (14)...yes...fourteen different wood inserts. It also came with a certificate that it won forst place in a competition. He has also include a great set of blanks. Pics below! (sorry for my poor photo skills. They dont do the pen justice)

    Blanks Included:

    Piece of Teak - Corbs may be able to give more detail. I have below what was written on the blank.
    Deck piece from the training ship "Young Endeavour"

    Silky Oak
    JAM (not sure what this one is)
    RM Burl
    Myrtle
    River Red Gum
    Huon Pine
    One Segmented Blank

    Glad you like it... was a bit suprised that it worked on my first attempt actually. My last few swap pens took some practice runs to get them right

    I have posted more info on the blanks in the pen swap thread

    I should also add that the first prize was only in the local show. Out of the maybe six entries I had three and picked up 1st, 2nd & 3rd

    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

    A pat on the back for that pen Corbs!! Great concept!!

    JAM = Rasberry jam, an Australian Acacia that smells like rasberry jam when worked.
