My AAW Donations

[Jim in Oakville]

Hi,

I will be attending the AAW in Louisville later next week. In my desire to support the AAW I have made two pens that I am donating to the Friday auction to be held Friday night after the banquet.

This first pen is an amboyna burl Emperor, I am still working on the item I am creating to display the pen.

This second pen is part of a collaboration donation I am making with a very good friend of mine who is a turner. This box elder burl Junior Statesman fountain pen will be housed in a specially turned desk box.

I hope to meet some of you in Louisville,

Take care,
Jim

Wow, they're both beautiful Jim! I bet they'll fetch a pretty penny. Please let us know how they do!

Holy smokes,
Those are some awesome pens. It just doesn't get any better than amboyna burl on an emporer. I love the BEB too.

That Jr. Statesman is fabulous,[] but the Emperor is also great looking. You did a beautiful job on both.

Thanks every one....

This will be the first time showing my pens in front of other turners so I am excited to get some feed back at the AAW as well on what I can improve on. I enjoy using Fanger's pin chucks a lot, they have added a great deal of fun into my turning. I enjoy using them to demonstrate with as well.
