If that's not a $200.00 pen I don't know what is! Very nice Wayne. The Statesman is so much nicer than the Gent. Anthony

That is one gorgeous pen! Are you selling that one or is it staying with you?

 

[wayneis]

Thank you Anthony, I agree the Statesman is a much nicer pen, just more class.

Thanks Fred. You know I have not decided yet what I'm going to do with it yet. I getting ready to turn a couple more, one with Red Amboyna and one with Golden Desert Poly Pearl from Hut if I'm succesfull drilling it because it is only 3/4" sq. I've done it with other material so just keep your fingers crossed.

I especially agree with Anthony... beautiful and worth at least, mmm let's see... $199.99?

 

[darbytee]

I feel disenfranchised as a penturner. If Wayne has beautiful Statesman pens to turn so should I. And the government should subsidize them for me. []

I agree Fred, make pens not BOMBS. You would think the board members would be passing out free pen kits (Statesman) to gather our votes. Anthony

Fred and all, If you like what you see Anthony has a group buy going on as we speak (or type) for the Jr. Statesman. Other than being smaller its the same kit, cheaper too. FYI, I sell the Jr. sizes in the Gentlemens version probably about five Jr's to one Gent. I think that the statesman will out sell the gent even at quite a bit more cost. Just my guess, I'll see what happens.

Fred, get in on the Statesman Jr. group order, only takes a commitment of 5, Look for it under the group buy. I even bet if Wayne sells his pen for 200 he would chip in for you! Anthony

Wayne has just crossed that line from pen making to ART! Anthony

Wayne, I'd like to apply for an apprenticeship in penturning with you if you have any vacancies for 2005.
