broker sold same day

[Glenn McCullough]

made this broker in russian olive burl yestaeday morning, intending to put it up for auction for Katrina relief. I took it to work and showed it to a couple people and the third person who saw it bought it. Guess its back to the shop for another round.

Great looking pen Glen. Love the burls.

Nice design, I like the way you accented the black into the wood. Very refined look

 

[PenWorks]

I am surprised the first person that saw it didn't buy it ! Very classy looking pen, nice job Glenn

 

[chigdon]

Very nice simple design.

That is a very distinguished looking pen[] First I've ever heard of a broker. As a matter of fact most of the pens I see here are firsts for me. How many types are there? Don't answer cause I'm going to ask that in a seperate thread.

 

[MDWine]

If you don't mind my asking, what did you get? That's a special piece of wood. How do you like that kit? I've been eye-balling those for a while now.

As near as I can tell, that looks just like the "CEO" kits, I got from WoodTurningz, a PSI kit. Is that by another mfgr.?

Bob, the Broker is a CSUSA kit. Very nice, Glen! Beautiful burl.[^]

Nice ....very nice looking ......I've got a pen/ pencil set glued up to turn out of eyed persimmon. Hope it turns out half as nice. BTW that kit is also called a "Wallstreet" by one of the companies

I just finished a Wall Street today. The clips are very different.

What material did you use in making the protective ring?

Looks pretty good to me too!

The person had no problem paying $45.00 for it. I ask a bit less at work as I dont include a case. I tell them I want it to be used and not put on a shelf somewhere. The wood is from BB and the ring is black corian. It is a CSUSA kit, better finish on the black parts. the only CEO kit I tried, the black finish chipped against my glasses while in my pocket.I gave that one away, but a dab of black acrylic paint, and you couldnt tell at all there had been a chip.
