Why can’t you play cards with a pirate?

[Darios]

Because they are standing on the deck…

Okay - it's a gimmick pen. But it came about when my partner said that the blank looked like islands and water.

Woodturningz Pirate with another of gerryh3333's hybrid cherry. I'm a little leery of buying another of these kits as the fit was just a smidge to tight - the tube bent and gave a small crack to the blank when fitting the 'head'. I'd thought that specularite X would have been a bit more prominent too, but I can work with it as a subtle detail as a talking point.

Love it. I thought the Pirates were in Pittsburgh.

Disney tells us they are in the Caribbean.

Gorgeous blank. Perfectly fits that kit. Fun project!

Makes me want to don an eye patch and buy a parrot.

Very nice. I thought about becoming a Pirate once, but then I heard it's addictive. They say once ye lose one of yer hands, ye get hooked! - Arrrrrr. - Dave

Do you know where pirated GET their hooks?

Why, the 2nd hand store. YAR!

Just be careful and don't step on the poop deck.

Just to carry on with the pirate jokes, I was in a bar and asked a pirate how he lost his eye. He said he looked up to see what the weather was going to be like, and a seagull plopped in his eye.
I told him that I didn't believe him and that such an incident would not lead to him losing his eye. He said it would if you have a hook instead of a hand!
Please feel free to laugh or groan as you prefer!!!

They get worse as this thread goes on. Guys, you should be on stage. There's one leaving town in one hour. Be on it.
