Gotta love pens with history! Grandpa will be very pleased.

A pen with a story to tell, well, it's always a pride of ownership thang!
Well done.
I also have some oak from a demolisheed barn that was built in the late 1800's. It is awsome wood and tears up the tools, as it is hard as a rock.

Could it be American Chestnut?

Nice pen David. Regardless of what kind of wood it is, it is a pen with a story behind it.

Great looking pen with a history too. I'm sure he will love it.

Don't know what it is, but you did a nice job on it!

History is paramount. nice pen, beautiful sentiment. He will cherish it. Jus.

 

[JimGo]

Nice pen David, and I'll bet he will cherish it. But I do have two questions:
1) Was he mad that you are taking apart his barn? [] and
2) What was his reaction????

 

[jbyrd24]

I sure your Grandfather will love it. That is a wonderful jesture
on your part.[]
