Thanks for the kind words, Ron! If you have the time, could you post pictures of both of our pens? My camera is out of action for the time being.

My pen from 1080wayne has arrived. We deciced to make our swap pens from local materials...Texas stuff for me and Canadian stuff for Wayne. He sent me a beautiful baron made with a white tail antler cap and aspen barrel....I'll try to get a picture posted this evening. Thanks Wayne...the pen is beautiful and I'll share part of you story about the pen when I post the picture.

Here is a picture of the pen I received from 1080wayne, aka Wayne Richardson. The pen is a baron with white tail antler cap and aspen barrel. The barrel is dark because of a fungus that grown on aspen poplar trees and causes the black splotches we have all seen..I think. The black is the fungus causing the bark to grow in a progressively distorted form. The pen is really nice looking in person and will add to my collection very well. The pen is finished with CA. Thanks Wayne and I enjoyed trading pens with you. I do hope my pen to you arrives soon. My apologies to Wayne. I just now noticed the dust on the end of the barrel. It appears to be a flaw in the pen but it is dust from my shop. I sat the pen down before taking the picture.

Well, I'm tired of looking for the correct place to post the pen swap photos. My pen sent to 1080Wayne in Canada finally arrived. It was sent on Sept 27. I used International first class but the pkgs I send to Canada via international priority seem to arrive much faster.
Anyway, here is a picture I took of the pen sent to Wayne. Wayne and I decided to trade pens made from our own local materials so I used rattlesnake skin and mesquite burl. The pen is a closed end baron and I replaced the clip finial with a matching wood finial and hid (recessed) the clip to make the clip ring invisible. Here is the only picture I made of the pen and it doesn't show the clip end very well. (stupid me) Maybe Wayne can get a good photo of the clip end for us.
