It's not very often when the baby brother gets to show his older brother and big sis something they've not done before.

They both have a pen from me and were here for a visit this past weekend and wanted to try making a pen for themselves. My brother made a bolt action using the taupe dog blank from the Pensmiths and my sister made a long clicker using a hybrid blank that I got from Exotic Blanks.

I think they did very well. Our other brother will now have to make one next time he's in town because he won't let those two show him up!

(Editor's note - my sister is standing on a stool)

Very Cool. They are both really nice. I've been really happy with those hybrid blanks from Exotic Blanks. I got an email from Dawn about a week ago that said they would be listing more of their hybrid blanks on their site shortly. - Dave

Dave - that is fantastic!!!! I only have one more of those left and it's already sitting in the stack my wife has set aside for her personal pens! Therefore, I'm out!

I'm almost out too. I have a red one and a green one left. I have them in a stack I have set aside for myself. Until being able to see them firsthand at the MPG I never realized how gorgeous some of the label cast and hybrid blanks really were. The pictures online just don't do justice to them. - Dave

Totally agree with you, seeing them in person helps them sell

Congrats to your family, I would think that you probably have set the hook on them into this vortex. Oh, by the way, beautiful pens by both. What a great way to start off………cC😎

Well, they each have a pen I've made them over the last year. I think they both thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for the kind words too
