    Default A request for a sister

    My sister asked me to make a pen for her boss who has been a good mentor for her over the last few years. He uses fountain pens exclusively so that was my only requirement on the pen.

    Wood is Caragana which I got from a pen swap in the past and finish is CA sanded to 12000.

    Its a wet day here so might go play around with a couple of ideas for a box to send it in... if I finish the box I will post pics in here too.

    Thanks guys, Peter the blank was from Greg Cozad in the 2009 Australia Day pen swap. Here is a link to the blanks & pen I received in that swap

    corbs,

    When I saw the title of the thread, I thought you were in the market to buy a Sister. I just asked my parents for one when I was younger.

    Almost forgot to complement Corbs on a very nice pen. We got some Caragana from my girlfriend's brother's bosses windrow in Alberta last summer. Nice wood to turn.
