Fine Feathered Friend

[bgio13]

This is my first try at the pheasant feather blanks made by JohnU and I must say the blank is amazing. Turns easy and polishes up great. This will be going to my daughters school as a donation for their silent auction. Hope it brings in big bucks. Thanks for looking.

Great fit, great look,

PRICELESS!!!

(When is the auction, we have one locally, I have been trying to decide what to do--if this does well for you, please let me know)

Thanks Ed (forgot to mention this was a blank I got from you, sorry). My daughters preschool has been studying birds a lot this winter so I thought this pen was appropriate. The auction isn't until March 20th. I will post here how much the pen brings in.

Mine is in April, so that would be great, if you don't mind!!

Thanks!!

Bill,
I must have gotten the twin to that one, as the one in my display looks very similar. John does a great job with those blanks, and you did his excellent work proud with your excellent work on the blank.

Looks great

I think that is a great idea, Ed. Have Bill do one for you to donate!

Beautiful Job Bill! I think those 2 tone kits really work well with the feathers. Hope it goes over well in the auction.

Very nice looking pen. I like that kit with the blank. Now I may have to try one of these.

No problem, I would love to make a pen for Ed. He probably should send me some extra blanks to practice on though. Wouldn't want to send Ed a pen with an "oops" band.

Adequate supply!!

Thanks for the offer!!! Been so long since I have turned a pen, I may not know how.

However, I DO have a GREAT supply of pens with "decorative trim", so no that would not be required!!!:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Bob,
Ed can send them to me, and I can drive (some of ) them out to Marston Mills for my visit to Cape Cod on March 3rd. :wink:

Sound ok to you Ed??

Update

Ed, here is an update on the pen. Unfortunately things were a little off at the silent auction this year, so I guess I am pleasantly suprised the pen brought in $60.00. I was hoping for more but every little bit helps. Now I have to start thinking about next year.

Thanks Bill!!

And thank you for taking the time to send me a PM.

Now that I have thoroughly read this thread, I don't think I will be "speaking to" that dentist guy:frown::frown::frown:

Not to mention the OLD guy from Oklahoma that ENCOURAGES him!
