    Default My Swap to Don Ward

    Speaking to Don this morning he received my parcel and is enjoying it.

    The pen was made from Spanish Olive I bought in France the Burl Pen Rest Brown Mallee Burl, the Florin Coin mostly Silver for the Aussie Coat of Arms, the Penny Dons birth year, the pen faceted on my design Pen Mill.

    Dons hobbies include Photography and old VW,s. The Mini Camera when the button is pushed makes multiple flashes and sounds like a camera making multi exposures.

    Under the Burl I cut an outline Map of Texas with my mini rotary tool, Don lives at the top a half way across at Wichita Falls.

    Some coins old and new for cutting shaving.

    Had fun selecting rare as top blanks had to take one out it made overweight at 35 bucks, I will send some more later.

    Made a good friend spent a real lot of time enjoyed every minute of it thanks to the organisers et al the Forum in general

    Kind wishes everyone,

    Peter 2012 swap.

    Well done Peter.
