Nice!! I really like that tortoise shell blank. I think I'll have to try casting something like that . . . . . . . when the weather starts co-operating again.

BTW, I had to google FFS too.

 

[DestinTurnings]

Well...I just didn't want to drop it on the forum. If I didn't make pens and had a stack of cash, I would probably buy a ton of Shawn's pens.

I am 17 and I didnt even know what fss meant. I just urban dictionaryied it.

Awesome pen btw, I kind of like being able to see the threads.

We could always work out some sort of trade if you're really interested. :biggrin:

You're only 17!?
Yearh right - you should've known the FSS thing, then. :biggrin: :biggrin:

Shawn, I love this blank. Great job

Thanks! I gotta say I wish somebody would request it in a different size though. I've made four or five in this size so far. I think this one is the best made of them all though.
