All these pens are amazing. When I look at them I know that there is no doubt I am in the intermediate category.

Very fine work guys. I have my favorites but so hard to choose my number one choice for the poll. Great job everyone!!!

I had fun trying to guess who made each pen. I thought I'd be pretty good at it, but am only positive about five of them, and one of those is mine.

 

[jmbaker79]

Same here, thought It would be easier to figure out! not sure I even have 5, including mine...

Absolutely amazing craftsmanship. These entries really show the amazing talent represented here on the forum. Congrats to all entrants!!

 

[stolicky]

Wow. Congrats to all. They are all really nice, and some have some clearly have a lot of thought and ingenuity behind them. There are certainly a few I would love to have in my collection!

I don't know how you could pick just one?

Is it wrong to name the non finalist pens?

Kudos to Mike for such a tedious post, but the entries were clearly worth it. What outstanding work. It's a shame only one can win.

 

[firewhatfire]

WOW, what a great set of pens, I can identify a total of 1. I always look forward to seeing what folks on this site turn out when the best is expected.

I was not disappointed.

Wonmderful pens. This is just a small part of what makes the IAP the great site it is.

Ed.....I see a promo idea. Your company calender with the pens for the monthly pictures. Or a one sheet calendar with the pens as a border. These would be an inspiration to any pen turner.

OR

Another fund raising idea is the IAP calendar......All turners would enjoy something this beautiful.

Great work to all the entries.

Please don't publicly "claim your pen" for a while. Dawn and Mike have hatched an idea that might be fun--posting who made which pen would kill the possible plan.

Give them a day or two, please.

Pen? What pen? I dont know of any pen?

 

[PeetyInMich]

Incredible work from true craftsman, not a pen that I wouldnt be very proud to carry in the bunch

 

[mredburn]

We will be having a contest within a contest. I will post it shortly. We will do a match the pen to the maker contest.

 

[SerenityWoodWorks]

I bet there will not be anyone that can go 100% ( other than Mike)

Yeah but even I would have to use the entrants list.:bulgy-eyes:

 

[mredburn]

We have approval to do a Match the Pen contest. I will post the contest right after the close of the polls, which is next Tuesday the 26th at about 5:30 pm. You will have until midnight the 28th to get your entry in. I have requested a form for that from Curtis.
Exotic blanks will have gift certificates for First and Second prizes along with a last place prize. Ties will be settled by random drawing.

We do have one pen that has been published else where that will be announced with the competition giving everybody at least one right answer.

Wow!! I feel so insignificant right now. All top notch talented artists right there. Great job to all you who entered these.
