I think you are on to something as well, I have a friend that makes baskets out of the long pine needles, your pen looks pretty nice from what I can see.
Can't agree more. Next thing you know, people will be turning pens using coke cans. Oh wait, I have seen that too.....This site in incredible. Fantastic looking pen. Can't wait to see more.
thanks for all the comments, hope all will try it. I love sharing new ideas. By the way, has anyone tried to make a picture collage pen like the one I posted a while back?
