Santa came to the Walden household a little late this year.... Seems like he got stuck in a pub in Australia, til eventually some bloke by the name of John Crane evicted him from his barstool and sent him on his way with a care package of wonderful pen blanks for yours truly. Seriously, it looks like John dug deep into his private collection- There were a couple of gorgeous pieces of Murray Sheoak, a big chunk of red gum burl from the Murray river, 4 blanks of Needlewood, a piece of prairie wood, several red morrel blanks, a number of pieces of lace sheoak and brown mallee burl, a knock youir socks off piece of Red Mallee burl, a beautiful blank of concinna mallee burl, a big piece of 100 year old red gum from a fence post taken from an early settlers house, and the most special blank of them all- a piece of apricot, that was marked "planted in 1935 by my Mum". John, you've amazed me with your generosity. I haven't had this big of a smile on my face
in several years- thanks, my friend! Hard decision that it is, I think I'm going to have to turn one of the pieces of Murray Sheoak first- That is some amazing grain, hope I can do it justice. Thanks again, John!!
