Here are some pens and pen cases that are going to be donated to a local Christian high school for their annual athletic dept. auction. The pens & pen cases are made from the basketball court flooring from their gym that was destroyed 2 years ago during a winter storm, it collapsed from the ice and snow on the roof. Some of you may remember the story from a couple of years ago when I made pens for them then.

Keith Larrett (VisExp) was kind enough to offer to do the pen cases for me. I thought I could do the boxes on my own, but I found out real quick that I didn't have the tools or skills to do it right. I sent him four small pieces of the flooring and he came to the rescue and made two cases for me. He was able to preserve some of the nail holes which I think really adds to the story of the wood. I'm really excited about how great the boxes turned out. Thanks Keith.
