Quick of the Mark !!
Am I the first ??
Or should I say Michael (Grommett)
Michael was very quick of the mark !! and I had the pleasure of coming home from being interstate to a parcel that was not expected this quick so well done Michael
My two pen swaps are sort of underway and should be done and posted very soon but I will keep you posted.
So here we are with a photo of my pen swap from Michael.
Snr Gent placed in a nice blue velvet draw string pouch and dressed in Mango. I am sure Michael will share with us the finish he placed on this fine piece of timber.
some very nice spalted blanks and a nice piece of Yew and spalted oak. I am sure these are going to make some treasured pens ;-)
Feel free to fill in any gaps Michael and very much appreciated )
Thanks
Tony.

The mango was from Chris, Mapleman. The finish is Shellawax over a CA sealer. I like the challenge Of a Snr Gent, Its the top barrel that tests.

Just received a PM from my US partner Glenspens to say he has posted my pen. Glen, you need to clear your inbox to receive my thank you PM. On the other hand if you read this you don't need to bother.

Recieved a beauty from Tangoman!
Hoping my stuff is well on the way(maybe delivered?) to my pen swap partner!
I did receive mine. And I took a few photo's of it, with the bonus blanks that accompanied the parcel. I must say, you have 'down played' your abilities...this is not something that comes from a 'beginner'....I couldn't find a sanding mark on it anywhere...great attention to detail!
Not one wants to read my ramblings....photo's rule!!
First one is just a shot of the pen resting in its presentation box.
Laying on top!
And finally, laying amongst the 'bounty' of nice blanks...that I will enjoy turning once it warms up a bit around here.
Thank you Cam(aka....Tangoman)!
Scott (had a fine time) B

Thanks for the kind words Scot !!
Scott,
So glad you like the pen and goodies, enjoy some of our lovely Ozzy timbers ! Am very pleased you like the pen, for me has a very cool retro look reminiscent of 70's psychedelia ! (Or a bad LSD trip! )

my pens Sergio and Corbs should leave this week, its been a bad couple of weeks at work so i haven't had much time for playing around
this the pen i received from Surge82/Sergio, sorry for taking so long to post the pickies mate, between work and SWMBO forgetting to bring the parcel home.....
Acrylic Slim Line Stylus, the acrylic is well turned and fits the components very well, the finish is to a high shine, i had to pry it out of SWMBO's hand in order to get the pickies
there is also some nice blanks to have a play with
thanks mate

Aus Pen Swaps On there way !!!
Hi Grommett and Merril,
Just to let you know that my part of the Aus Pen swap for 2014 has now been finished and packed and will be on its way via Aus Express Post tomorrow morning
Keep an eye out for the postman in the next couple of days and I hope you both like them.
In my haste to get them packed and addressed I forgot to put my little hand written notes in each parcel. Not to worry I am sure we can all work out what is what when they arrive.
Cheers & Thanks and I look forward to seeing your photos posted ;-)
Tony.

My two packages are winging the ways to their respective destinations.
The pen from tdrumnut has arrived along with some very nice blanks The pen is a Gunmetal Vertex dressed in Spalted Olivewood. This is the first one of these I've handled and I'm very impressed with the mechanism. I think I will be adding a few of them to my next order when the time comes . There was one more blank in the package (Honduran Rosewood) but a guest has decided it would make a very nice pen for him to make so it's been cut, drilled & is waiting for the glue to cure nowIt's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.
