I just finished my Australian pen swaps. And by finished, I mean everyone has received their pens, and I've received mine. For those of you that don't know, you have the option to swap with someone from Australia, and someone from your own country. So you can double down so to speak.
Anyway, here's what I received from my swap partners.
From Jenny (touchwood on the Australian forum). It's curly swamp gum with a distinctive sap line (we think). She also has custom pen sleeves. Very cool idea.
And from Stacey (Spanky239) who lives on Maui. It's curly /figured Koa.
I wasn't sure at first because I've never made a pen from Koa. But I will soon.:wink:
Here's what I sent them. I sent blanks too, but I didn't take pictures of them before I sent their packages.
For Stacey in Hawaii. African Blackwood with Bloodwood scallops & accents. (yes, know the picture sucks.:redface:
And to Jenny, I sent a mesquite burl with white holly scallops. I didn't do the accents with this one, but I did do a custom finial in mesquite burl.
All in all, a very fun swap, and made 2 new friends.
