A couple of pentel pencils in Caribbean rosewood..people seem to like the .09mm size this year

A couple more of the modified shell casing pens in Caribbean rosewood

A cigar for a Native American..This gentleman makes bows and arrows and gives lectures about the American Indian culture. He requested a cigar pen with osage orange. Its embelished with walnut, white tail antler, black and red veneer

Very good looking pens love the last one

The cocobolo/sapwood pen is beautiful. The last one is quite unique. As always Harold, great finishes. Please check your PM's, you never got back to me about your request.

Great finish on all of them. How hard is the pentel to make?

Hi Harold that's a nice set of pens, I like the Cocobolo a lot, and the fact it has sapwood is even better. The Cigar is also very nice and I think it is cool that it is going to a person such as you described, I making some Hawaiian style Calabash bowls and a Kanoa (Kava/Awa Bowl) for a friend of mine, a well known local Hawaiian Singer/songwriter and hula instructor, you guys might know of him, his name is Kealii Reichel and these bowls are made from the traditional Hawaiian wood for bowls called Kou not Koa but Kou so as they would say in Hawaii ther is a lot of Mana or energy, power in it, I am sure the bow maker will enjoy the pen you made for him, aloha.

Malta is very small indeed. Dont know the exact figures but 121 square miles is the surface area at least.. (according to wikipedia.) It is a bit elnogated so maybe 9*14 miles or so I can imagine

 

[ZanderPommo]

wow, thats like the size of my town

 

[bitshird]

All of the pens are very nice, but the Cigar is outstanding,, a real beauty.

 

[splinter99]
