The black box with the x in it is nice, but the other black box with x in it is simply amazing. I'm voting for that one!

 

[mredburn]

Sigh. nothing is as simple as copy and paste should make it.
I will get them up.

I miss the descriptions. But the resulting compactness of the thread is an advantage.

I'll refer to the original thread for the descriptions.

[stuckinohio]

Very generous! These were my three votes. Love the trout and interested to see more of this type from him. I thought the SouthWest pen was Seth, I was close!

 

[Master Geppetto]

Why thank you!! My pictures didn't do any justice to Tim McKenzie's Diamond Cast blank--it speaks volumes that the blank did as well as it did in Round 1 despite the glare and reflection. I've got nearly a year of penmaking under my belt, one of this year's objectives will be to improve my photography (important for posting here, and if I ever get around to getting my web store up and running!!)
