I visited Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, last year with my family. While touring the grounds, I noticed several stacks of wood that was trimmed from the trees. To the embarassment of my family, I inquired of the accessibility of some. You might think I asked for the key to Fort Knox. I had to submit a request in writing and received a small box of willow a few weeks later, along with a letter of acknowlegement, that it is indeed from Monticello. I sealed it immediately and let it sit.
This is a pen I made for a young person whose parent found out I had some wood from there and wanted a memento of their visit. I did the best I could of a rather unexciting wood, while leaving it in a natural state.
