Scott, the pen arrived today, but no one was home to get it. The post office won't even let me pick it up until Friday.[

Hey ScottyDont - Got your pen today, and it looks great. In all the years I've been playing with burls from all over the world, somehow I've never had Cocobolo burl. Thanks for the extras as well. Nice work!

Not to worry Bob, it's well insured.

Received my pen from Jeff Craigg today in the mail:
a very nice executed Baron in Bois Du Rose with Satin Nickel finish hardware. I like even the form, slightly curved, just perfect, not too much. Good Job Jeff!!

Hey Glenn (oobak), I'm not ready to quit on my recipient yet, but I have emailed him twice and posted here to get his shipping info to no avail. My pen has arrived and I wouldn't feel right if I didn't send a pen to someone. From reading this thread it would seem I'm not the only one having problems contacting their recipient. I guess what I'm saying is hang tight, it seems likely that there will be a way in. Now I have no say in this but maybe Scott (Mudder) could work you in due to this.

Sorry Glenn no back out, but I'm sure that you're a generous person so you can send a pen to all of us [

Jeff,
I got another email from you. It had the same email address listed as the first. Hopefully it will work this time. I wonder if maybe your email filter is blocking my replies? Hmmm.

This is the pen that Scott Talbott sent me. It is a chrome Baron in Coolibah burl. It was turned from an atypical burl in that it was in a fire when young and a new burl grew over it and they fused. Scott explained to me that this usually results in ugly, unusable wood. But as you can see here this one turned out beautiful. The fit and finish on this pen are top notch. The pics don't do this pen justice. I didn't set up the photo booth as I was too eager to post the pics.
Thank you Scott, you did an oustanding job on this pen. It is too nice for me to carry daily as I work in a factory, but I'll be sure to show it off and use it often when not at work.

Wow, what a wonderful idea. I wish I had been a member at the time this started. Is there another exchange coming up that I can be apart of? I hope that this is not an anual thing.

Dario - I just read your "progress" report. I can hardly wait. I'm having a hard time deciding which of the blanks you sent me in the "Chef's Special" I'm going to use to create my masterpiece. I'm going to try and not be selfish and use the best to give away. Lane

I was in error when I said your pen was ready. My greatest critic my wife said it was not good enough and had me make a different pen. More turning , chips etc. and hope you like it your pen is in the mail today[]. Oh and she is pretty good at it I might add, I was about to sell a set pen and pencil that I made and she (wife) asked why did one have more rings cut than the other and that was the first thing the potential buyer did not like and did not buy.[]

Ok, Nils, your pen is on the way, hope you like it. It's my first of that particular kit style, my first using that type of wood, and the first with a spray lacquer finish.
Cheers, and enjoy the pen!

Fangar, I will gladly be on STANDBY for your pen if EDDIEK9 doesn't surface. Heck, I'd be happy with just getting the 'shine' of the pen that you made. One step further, I'll change my name to Eddy or anything else that you want. That is a beautiful pen that you have crafted for Eddy.

Always Practicing - Put your pen in the mail today. Up to this point I've turned mainly wooden pens, only one or two acrylics, and never done one before this one w/o a CB. Hope you like it.

I just recieved my pen from Jim (woodpens) and it is absolutely beautiful!!! The picture does not do it justice. Hey Jim, can you tell me what finish you used on this pen?
Thank you so much, this has been really fun. I am still working on the one I am doing for my recipient since I am pretty new, I want it to be perfect. [] I'm sorry but I have not been able to figure out how to include a pic yet from someone elses album or move it to mine so I can include one but is the Jr Gent Mahogany with Bloodwood Inlays in woodpens album.

I am glad you like your pen, Nancy! I used CA without BLO. That is how I finish all of my pens with inlays so that any crevices will be filled. Mahogany is very easy to turn and finish. I see why it has been so popular for woodworking in the past. I added the picture below for you.

I recieved my pen from splinter99 and it is a beauty. I love it very much. It is a Big Ben cigar pen,made with walnut with maple inlay from his own trees.
Thank You very much splinter,I will cherish it.
One day I hope to inlay like that. I am nervous to try it. I will only use it on special occasions,as I am going to build a display for it and some of my other treasures.
