HEY! I got my pen today from Bob A, and might I say it is a wonderful piece of art. It is a Churchill made with Afzelia Burl. Thanks Bob for wonderful work of art and it is going into my personal collection. I am sending a picture to jeff as soon as I post this message here. Thanks Angela for putting this together! I love these PITH and I think we should have them a little more often.
 
Just notifying both PITH Leaders and John Crane My PITH pen will be posted in the morning. John I hope you like it
bye

Dang!

I'm sorry I forgot to join in this one.

When our Pen Mistress runs that next one [;)] I'll be sure to join in.
 
Just a quick follow up for you OKLAHOMAN.
Your pen has been completed and will be loaded on the pony in the morning.
I hope you can get some pictures of it to post.
Have a great evening and it has been a pleasure to design and create this pen for you.[:D]
 
To Ron Mc and RonMc1954, I have made two pens and both will be sent out in the morning. I felt bad sending a wrong email to RonMc1954 for the PITH that I decided to send him a pen, hope you don't mind Angela. He was nice about the wrong email, his emails were friendly, a real IAP member. RonMC sent words of encouragement since I have only only been turning since May, hopefuly he will post my pen once he gets it. On a side note gentlemen, their can only be one Pen Mistress and I have her. She is making a pen for me and I can't wait to see it.
Thanks Angela for running the PITH, it is my first one but won't be my last.

the pith mistress makes first rate pens. you really lucked out on this drawing. to martyb (my victim) do not despair. i'll make the deadline. i'm putting a lot of thought into this hahahaha. will make shavings some day in the future.
 
Thanks for the nice sentiments Gary and Fritz, I'm very flattered[:I]. I've had to place an order to get some more kits of the one I plan to use for your pen Gary, so there's going to be a little wait on your pen- won't be as fast as you got yours done (BTW, very nice gesture to make a pen for each Ron).

Mudder and orgtech, jwoodwright made a good suggestion about the two of you swapping pens!
 
HEY! get those photos in to me!!! Only one photo submitted so far.

HERE is the IAP photo album.

Send your PITH photos to me and I'll post them. Include the MEMBER NAME of the maker and the recipient and a brief description of the pen if you like.

Please have your photo cropped to no more than 600 px in the largest dimension and no more than 250K file size. One photo please.

Thanks.

When I've mailed pens to people for other reasons, I've just put them in a cardboard box so there's some protection, then put that into one of the small padded envelopes. Then it only weighs a few ounces and may cost around a dollar to mail. You'd have to decide if you wanted insurance or not of course. I've never had one get damaged or anything doing it this way.
 
For Ryan (rpasto92),

It is done and it looks good if I do say so myself...after a couple of false starts (tubes getting stuck)[B)]

Made from a kit you requested and of a material I don't think you have used, hope you like it.[;)]

Going to try to get it in the mail in the morning.
 
Epson,

It's done!![:D][:D] As soon as I get a couple pics, in the mail it goes. Hope you like it. Do you want to wait to get it for the pics to get posted, or can I post them once it is in the mail? Your call...[;)]
 
John, I'd suggest one of the stiff cardboard mailing tubes, or even better, one of the super cheap wood pen boxes. It's a waste, but that would definitely protect the pen it was carrying.

Charles, pen went out priority today, you should see it Thursday or Friday. I hope you enjoy it, I went 2-3 steps beyond my normal working level making it. Feel free to send Jeff a picture of it when it arrives.

John I send my pens to the States in pen box from Carbatec and in bubbles padded envelope, you need to fill up the green form CN22 ( and show white paw [:D]usually they ask for driver licence) , I send by AIR , price will be $ 8.50 for up to 250 grs ( 1/2 pound )so usually I add few blanks from OZland, will take 12 to 15 days for your PITH partner to have your pen , hope this help

bubblewrap it real well. You should not have a problem or even a small video box.
Toni
 
Monty, your pen should be there by Friday.
Had trouble deciding which of two to send so I picked out the one I liked best and put it in my pocket and sent you the other [}:)][:D]
 
I recieved in the mail today an outstanding slithering pen from Don Ward. I had seen Don's pics of his castings before and I know this is said a lot, but his pics don't do them justice. I'll proudly carry this pen and show it off to everybody. Don was also very generous with his pen blanks, including a snakeskin Sierra blank. Thanks so much Don.

Thanks also to Angela, aka the PITH Mistress, and Jeff for this edition of PITH. I will try to get a pic to Jeff tonight.
 
You're welcome Bob. Enjoy the pen and the pens you will make with the blanks.
Do a good turn dailyu!
Don

Hi all,

I haven't been around in a while and just noticed this thread.

Could someone tell me what PITH is? [:I] It's probably too late
to participate in the 2006 one, but maybe I can get prepared for 2007? [:)]

Hey John,
In my former life I could have put you in contact with a good freight forwarder in Melbourne... probably could have gotten it here for a mere "left arm and perhaps other anatomy part"

Probably Postal service will be most economical and usually safe... other prospect is a courier.. they will be expensive though.
