    Default Vat 95 American White Oak

    A while back Amos posted a matching pair of Vat 95 American White Oak Statesman Fountain Pen / Roller Ball Pen set in a beautiful display case. I sent this timber to Amos along with a couple of other pieces, not much, but in a way to say thank you for his friendship, thoughts and kind deeds that he has done along the way.

    He has been there and a couple of other guys too through a rough year and a bit for me. I will be doing the same to them as I have for Amos as money permits. Now i sent this to Amos because I know his talents as a master pen crafter and the enjoyment that I would get in seeing him use my timber and see the result of a true professional.

    After commenting on what a magnificent job that Amos did with the Vat 95 American White Oak. I get a private message saying I am glad you like them, I have posted them to you today. It was something I didn't expect and am blown away by Amos' generosity and friendship. So publicly I would like to thank you so very much again my friend. For those who didn't see them, here is a photo for your viewing pleasure.

    Default None of the Above!

    None of the above, Darren very cleverly baited the wood with extra rum, it so intoxicated me while turning that I made the wrong decision and sent them off to him!!!!??? it was good to rid of them so I could breathe easy again!?
    Your welcome Darren, I have received so much wood that I may as well start swapping them!!!!, not really, have some wonderful historical pieces that need attention with turning to pens, let's hope them "turn" out ok. Amos
    Good, better, best, never let it rest;
    Til your good is better, and your
    better, best.
