Pen Swap - Matches Made

OKLAHOMAN · Aug 22, 2007

Recived from Nolan today. One of the nices Serrias and would you guess dressed in the most outstanding two-tone amboyna burl you've ever seen. Hopefully he took a photo before shipping to me or you going to have to see my attempt of photography[

].

Ron Mc · Aug 22, 2007

Micah,
I received my pen today. Fantastic job on the pen and the finish is perfect! It is now resting in it's place with pens created by what I would consider some of the best in the world!
Thank-You so very much.
My schedule lately has been overwhelming so please understand that I may be running a little late on yours.
When I decide to participate in a swap I only want to create a unique pen for the recipient so that they will have a one of a kind McKinney Pen in their collection.
Hang in there buddy what is now resting on paper will be created in wood shortly.

Again...Thank-You!

Did you get pictures or do you want me to take some?

skiprat · Aug 22, 2007

Scott, Nancy and I both have our pens, I just forgot to let you know.
But I have posted on the other thread.

PS thanks for doing this, it was nerve wracking but fun[

Nolan · Aug 23, 2007

Blind Squirrel,
Bob Ireland and I (Narwhale) have exchanged pens, both received by the other.
The pictures are posted in the other thread.
Thank you for your help.

ken69912001 · Sep 19, 2007

Scott i just posted both pens for the swap. The pens are from PTJeff to ken69912001. Thanks for doing this.

Verne · Sep 20, 2007

To Scott and all participants,
I hesitated to start this but after seeing all the really great pens swapped I feel a need to share my thots. My swap partner was Rick Herrell. Me the experienced and he the rookie. Boy, what an eye-opener. Rick sent me a beautiful hybrid pen which I will cherish and endeavor to get a picture posted, and I sent him a couple, well, rather mundane pens. What this has done in my shop was to make me take a serious look at where I am in my Pen Turning career. It seems to me that I have become rather caught in a rut. My pens are pretty darn good, but, they certainly lack what at first was an artistic flair in my turning. A lack of going outside the box. A lack of ingenuitey. I am somewhat ashamed of the cookie cutter pens I have been constructing and if nothing else, this swap has opened my eyes toward actually creating some art in my pens. IMHO Rick was certainly the more experience turner in this case and I apologize to him for my lack of creativity in the pens I sent him. So my friends, this has been what I hope is an experience, and a kick in my butt, and maybe yours, to get outta the rut and into some real penturning. Thanks to all that participated and especially to Rick for opening my eyes. And, ah yes, thanks to Scott for organizing the swap.
Vern
