AAW Book Signing Pen

[PenWorks]

This is my donation pen for a book signing to be held at the Kentucky Museum of Art, during the AAW convention. The artist who are displaying there, are typically given a pen at the book signing.
Those of you who are going to the AAW convention should go check this thing out. Wish I could go to both, Provo & AAW [V]

This is another TRECTS pen only on a Jr. Gent, Black TI frame.
Thanks for looking, comments welcome [8D]

This is my display card for the pen.

Anthony,

Very nice pen.

One question...is it really "Curly Popular"? I heard of Poplar but not Popular but I don't know a lot of wood.

 

[JimGo]

Dario,
He clearly didn't mean a species...he meant that it was a very popular, curly wood. Hopefully he'll let us know what it actually is...it's a beautiful piece of wood, and yet another example of Anthony's excellent craftsmanship!

 

[Jim in Oakville]

Hi Anthony,

I will be there and I will look for this pen...wish you could make it!!

Dario, it would not be a Turchetta original if the spelling were correct.[]

Thanks Dario, I was feeling pretty good till I saw your post [V]
Yet, just another Penchetta blunder []
I like Jim's & Peter's reasoning better []

 

[Dario]

Anthony,

I normally let these things go but since it will have major exposure, I thought I would bring it up...hope it is not too late to have things re-printed (if need be).

Gone & sent out last week, Oh well, just give them something else
to talk about, besides wood & turning [)]

 

[gerryr]

Well, popular or not, it's a great looking pen.[]

Weeeelllll since we're picking on Anthony [] the zero for 20th anniversary appears to be a lower case "o" instead of a zero 0, but again, it could have been done that way on purpose.
Really not picking, just something I saw.

BTW the pen is AWESOME!
Jerry

 

[Dario]

It is a good "hook" or conversation topic. I bet you most will be wondering where you got the wood and how they miss a good variety LOL.

You will have so many inquiries about it after the signing so get ready [}][].

 

[fuzzydog]

I feel strange jumping in here but the card for the pen leaves me with a question.
Is this the 20 th anniversary or the (follow me now) the 2 otah anniversary. The fact that the second character in the 20 is a different size seems like a typo, but than again I rank as one of the worst spellers around.

Good eye Jerry, I believe your right ! [xx(]
Glad the proof reader got paid the same I did for this pen,
or I would have fired his ass []
What's that Ol saying "what do you expect for free"

Thanks for the comments.

 

[alamocdc]

That is a beaut, Anthony. Too bad you don't have a more competent proof reader. [}][]

Ed, I was starting to get such a complex, I looked at my name about 5 times to see if I got it right []

In my defense, I posted this sample card to another group and nothing was said about it. So they are either a politer group [] or as sharp as me []

Now I am hurt []...what are you doing showing this off somewhere else ahead of time?! [][}]

 

[bjackman]

We're at least as sharp as YOU, Anthony...... [B)]

 

[Jim15]

Beautiful pen Anthony.

 

[Gary Max]

You mean your not going to the Louisville show???
Geeeee
The rest of us are going to be there

 

[reed43]

Well Anthony I am going to say it is very beautiful pen , it looks more like a pretty piece buckeye burl than poplar.You do not have to win a spelling bee to turn wonderful pen like you do.

That IS a beautiful pen! I th0ught it was buckeye, t00. Th0ugh buckeye <u>is</u> a m0re p0pular w00d. []

 

[mick]

Spellin...SPELLIN...We don neeed no stinnnnking spellin! Not when you got a pen like that!!!!It's a real beauty Anthony!!!!!

 

[angboy]

Anthony, you just need someone like me to read your stuff first- I've actually been un-invited to serve on a policy making/writing committee at work because they got tired of me pointing out typos and grammar and spelling mistakes. And just yesterday, when I pointed out some spacing errors on a meeting agenda, my boss took my agenda away from me so I couldn't find any more mistakes. []

Just go find your nearest psychologist- everyone in my department thinks it's a psychologist trait, so there's got to be one near you.

The pen is perfect though!

 

[RogerGarrett]

I think it is a great looking pen - it will be very popular. I would bet the miniumum bid is $1oo.oo []

[btboone]

I'll bid lol.o1 Nice looking pen, even if it does have ripples. []

 

[PenWorks]

Angela, there you go talking shrink again, I am still waiting for the white jacket you said you were going to make me. []

Bruce, no extra charge for the ripples, the pen is a donation.

Gary, are you going to the AAW ? If you win a ONEWAY lathe, give me a call, I hear they have 4 bigs ones being given away. [] Are you going to demo turning your cedar tree stumps []

Thanks for the comments on this poplar pen.
