My company occasionally holds a silent auction to benefit United Way as part of its annual fund raising campaign. This is the second time I have contributed to it. This is the result.

I have shown a similar pen to this one previously. The wood is from an old Case combine that was built in the 1960s (a straw spreader bat, if anyone knows what that is). The box is from the same wool. As you can see this piece has some worm-holing that adds interest or detracts, depending on your point of view.

The wood appears to be white oak. Engraving by Stan Cook, who always makes my stuff look better than it really is. The number underneath the Eagle emblem is the original part number of the piece.

Whoud a thunk it? What a novel idea to reuse something like that. Around here, there are old pieces of farm equipment sitting all over the fields where ever they finally played out. That is one very beautiful idea and pen and box. Congratulations.
