Why I fell in love with GWOW

[mik]

The first matching pen case and pens I made - from a customers lump of wild Greek olive wood - OK - it was a few years ago - just thought I would like to share with you all!!

Note the close pen in the box, grain flowing into the box itself, still one of my favorites - but I can only visit them now!!

Thanks for viewing

Mike

But it makes the visit wothwhile. That is quality craftsmanship.

In the famous words of Tim Allen.....AaaaaaOoooooFFFF. Nice work. If I sell a few more pens I may have to twist your arm for a chunk of that stuff to work with.

That's just awesome. That's my favorite wood. I have an olivewood inlay in my wedding ring.

Thank you all - I still tingle when I visit them

Visit!! I'd file for joint custody!! [] Not only do I love the look of olivewood but the smell is wonderful. I have a not-so-healthy habit of turning off the dust collector when I'm drilling out olive blanks. [][:I]

Hey Jason - what extractor!! - I use the dust and cut-offs for all the local cat owners - wrap 'em up in plastic wrap - you wanna see a cat high on wild Greek olive wood - and I'm serious - I call them "cat-licks" - perhaps, maybe the cats don't get a look in!?!
