Winning question #6

[TLTHW]

I was lucky enough to answer Robutacion's question #6 correctly and score a box of blanks. I had been saving a Rhodium Jr Gent FP for a special blank and this is the result.




Many thanks to George for this wonderful opportunity!

Great looking pen Dave. You did George's blank justice. Love that grain.

Wow! Now that is special - very very nice!

 

[OOPS]

That was a fun contest. While not a winner, I enjoyed following along. He sent you a great blank, indeed and you turned it into a thing of beauty.

Wow, wow, wow! That is a stunning blank. And, you did it proud. And the wood was? Russ

Dave, your second pic is useless, it comes out as a blur but the first one shows well the pen, kit and blank.

Yours is the third pen I saw from the 10 winners, seven to got...!:wink:

Is not a lot more I can say about the wood used, apart from enjoying seeing it done up brilliantly, that blank does show well the treasures within a treasure, all the digging, excavating, mud, rocks and whatever troubles we had to bring them to light and give them some life, becomes all worth it when I see results such as yours, you done an excellent job with it, thank you...!

Good luck with the other 7 blanks...!

Cheers
George
