Mark's Blanks are getting famous. But I managed to get this from him before he went all Hollywood :) I had to smuggle it out of the basement without getting caught! The finish is Tru-Oil

So that is where it went... I've had my shop fairies looking for that for weeks!!! You are a sneaky Bourbon drinking basement lurking, so and so...

Good job. Maybe he will let you have another.

No way, it will cost him - That blank was made from extra special scraps (a throw-away blank) :crying:

He smuggled it out of my shop :beauty::redface::befuddled:

Nope, not from Sunny Florida - You just showed me how to make em!!!



NIce pen Ernie! It looks very nice from my end.

Great Work Ernie.
Firstly, for getting your hands on the Blank, and getting it out of the Basement.
Secondly, for the Expert manner in which you treated it,
Superb Turning, Fit and Finish.
Thirdly, to Mark if it is any Comfort, Ernie Did Treat your Fantastic Segmented Blank, with the Care it Deserved.
Congratulations, Gentlemen.
Brian.

Wish I could have seen the blank before it got turned.

Wonderful job on the building of the blank Mark.
Great job on turning the blank Ernie.

Wishing I was there to share a little bourbon. (Did you guys add any peppermint?)

I was lucky enough to get surprised by a package from Mark. Wonderful pen inside. Had to hide it from the family as they all went "WOW, I like that!"
Told them right out......."This one is MINE!"
