[joefyffe]

Wood is from a Maple Stump, remaining after having a dead tree removed from my front lawn. C and C welcome

That is very pretty wood. I don't think I have seen maple look thet good. Good looking pen,too.

I lost count. Really, I'm not sure, but it was all "thin" C A, so several!

You did the right thing Joe. That curl and single vein of spalt sets it off.

Really nice pen. I love the color and patterns in the wood. Great fit and finish too! I love it when a simple wood creates such a neat pen.

Thanks for the compliments, Skip! As for the "youngsters" they have been directing most of their energies toward the Vintage side of their business. Lynn was trained by Richard Binder and has really taken a liking to playing with (working) front ends. Mike has taken a STRONG liking to helping her play with front ends. Actually she is doing quite well. She used to work with "Things Remembered" jewelry co. so has an eye, mind and hand for intricate work. The girl can make a fountain pen write right!
