:2tsup::yippy::ireland3:

Is it possible to update/change my preference to "Anywhere around the world"? I dont want to sound greedy by only saying overseas.:U

I'M IN!!! I really enjoyed last years pen that i received! Matter of fact, still using it today! I also enjoyed making last years as well!

Actually it is LEGAL as long as i dont alter the coins(currency) in such a way that changes the printed value to a higher value for personal gain. Basically what the US Mint has informed me is that...

the "map" is actually a State Quarter that i cut out

this was a very nice Western Diamondback snakeskin that i skinned and tanned a couple of months ago. I decided it was time to cast it in some resin, but this time with a quarter over the top of it!...

I decided to put my Texas Tru-Quarter™ blank on the tubes of this pen light from PennState Industries. I really like how it turned out! All comments, criticisms, comments welcome!232099232100232101

My SWAP partner this year was Mark Eisen(wm460). I asked him a few nosy questions about his birth year what type of pen he might like and we both agreed that a fountain pen was definitely the pen of...

Wow! I'm seeing some very nice trades going on! I cant wait to share mine!

Could the moderators please notify (wm460), my swap partner to clear out his PM box so i can get through to him Please!:D :doh:
I would hate to keep this great looking pen for myself:U

I'm in! Last year was great!

while i appreciate your enthusiasm to know how i make these, I will say that the process involved in making such blanks is proprietary. thanks again for all of the kind words.

Dick, i had no...

Dick,
I'm just now seeing this thread! thanks for posting! I am just about caught up with all of these quarters, I have a few people that I owe some stuff to for some trades done several months...

I'm curious what part of the process you saw? Or are you just referring to the cutting of a coin? I use a dremel scroll saw(variable speed-but on full throttle the whole time) and I use super fine...

No, i actually make pens with them!

thanks, I think i get caught up on IAP so much, that i forget about my pals on the other side of the pond!



Yes! this particular coin is actually a U.S. One Dollar coin! What you are seeing is...

Here are several U.S. quarters that I have cut out within the last few months!

I cut coins out using my scroll saw and make pens with them. Here is a Susan B. Anthony dollar coin just recently cut. comments, critiques, criticisms welcome!

Hey Shirley! the white wood is called "Holly". It grows as a bush typically. I'm really glad you loved your pen and blanks! the feeling is mutual.

Looks awesome! the colors of the resin compliment the wood beautifully!

Well , my package showed up from Mrs woodpecker! Its a Gold Sierra with Myrtle burl and it is beautiful! Shirley also threw in some wonderful pen blanks to go along with the pen. Thanks again Mrs...

Nice job!!

I did some research on defacing currency and actually called the US mint and this is not considered defacing money. By definition the way I read it, is if you alter or change the value of the coin or...

you are absolutely right, Dang-it, I couldn't figure out how to get into the right area for this. :( Can the moderators move it to the proper location?

I wish i could help you with identifying the wood, but aside from that you did a wonderful job on the shape!~ What type of finish did you use?

I just wanted to share something with all. This is an American Quarter that has been rolled, cut and cast in resin! Any comments, criticisms welcome! Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Yippie!!! :U My pairing partner (MrsWoodpecker) has PM'd me and the ball is rolling.

Cant wait for the Swap!!!!! The anticipation is killing me!!!:o
