Thank you all for the votes!
@jttheclockman I was expecting a couple of entries to use this kit, looks like I'm the only one that tried this year. I'll watch my back for the upcoming BASHs though... šŸ˜…

Looks like I won't have to jostle for a seat on the Loser's Train this year. Thanks to all who voted for my pen and thanks to the donors for the prizes.

I had high hopes when I first made this pen, but when I saw all the other fantastic entries, I was happy just to make the final round. Placing out of those top 10 entries is a special honor.

Congratulations Keith & Fred. Well done!

Thanks for running this contest, Mike.

Get some while you can Keith. I exchanged emails with Timberbits last year, when the stock is gone they won't stock the kit again :)

I have some and was suppose to try one after I saw your winner from last year that looked the same. They do make a nice kit and you can add your own touch here and there.

Thank you Brad! I got a couple of call blank-size of HRB from a seller at a Facebook group, this is old stock he assembled 25 years ago or so. Not sure what he paid for it back then but it was probably a good investment given today's prices.
