I received my Australia partner's Australia Day Pen Swap offering today. Quite a haul. The package beedeejay sent included a fabulous postable Jr. Gent II from Timberbits wrapped in Hairy Oak. Finish: Sanded thru 600, 13 -15 coats of CA, wet sanded w/1200 and MM thru the grits and buffed with auto polish. The photos (even if they were better) cannot do justice to this fine writing instrument.
Included were a beautiful bunch of blanks (BBB) including my favorite Red Mallee Burl. Accompanying the RMB are Mango, Camphor Laurel, Australian Red Cedar, Huon Pine (do like this one as well), some small Red Collabah Burl blanks and a hunk of Hairy Oak from the same bunch that the pen came from.
Apologies for the photos, still trying to get the hang of this photo taking thing. Ancient Canon EOS 30D on its last bit of battery.
