    Hey Troy,

    Very Nice Pen, just about all the "Goldfields Burls" are pretty special hey ?

    I had a heap of that Vasticola, and the ones that I could finish were really special, but the burl must have been too green when it was cut, it blew to pieces, I have about 50 in the shed, that when I have some time I will try and stabilize and get some of my money back.
