Mike, I could handle the GOW with the base. This pen is just too much for my Irish soul to handle without enough coveting to likely damn me to purgatory for a thousand years! This is a truly awesome pen, and the Shamrock is the perfect accent. Fantastic work!

Nice touch Mik, I'm sure he will put that next to his Blarney Stone [;)]

I thought that's where all Irishmen went was to Purgatory [:D]

Yes that's right. They tried to send us to Hell, but it was full of Italians![}:)]

Hi Bev

I have them hand made for me in Ireland, in bronze ($8.00), silver ($10.00), or gold ($14.00) . If you what some I will supply you at my cost plus shipping.

I must say they are exquisite, I have watched them being made an art in itself!!

They are very popular and certainly give - that added touch, which adds to the uniqueness of your craft.
If you want anything special made I will enquire and get a quote - email me if you want any?

Great, I drooled my a** off over this pen in March and now you bring it up again! Awesome, isn't it? The bog oak available on Ebay is darker than this. I posted this one a week or so ago, and it shows the darkness I refer to.
