This pen and all the pens to come will be very special to me. I am no longer the owner of a lathe and can no longer finish them. A few days ago there was a post about "mentors" I didnt post in it as there are too many people on here that I am greatfull for having in my life. The first would be Capt G, Gary, who finished this beautiful pen and OKLAHOMA, Roy or Batman (as I refer to him) for spending an hour on the phone with me explaining Bock nibs:)

Hope you like it as much as I do, I am so happy!! Hugs Gary and Roy!!

The yellow rose of Texas...the only "pen" for me. Love your roses...the red ones and black ones also! Butterflies amaze me as do the hummingbirds and doves. Still looking for the caterpillar. Love your work.
Do a good turn daily!

ALL of yours are WINNERS! This one is exceptionally beautiful and colorful! The Depth on the flowers is amazing! Do you know (of course you do) that you could charge a very good fee to people just to let them watch you make one of these! WOW!

Thank you so much, but I think people would be very bored watching the tedious work I do.

That is a great looking pen Toni, and I know because I got to hold it in my hands. Your work amazes me. Now I am going to let the cat out of the bag....If you guys and gals want to see a really spectacular pen, get Toni to show the sterling silver Sedona with black roses. Hint hint...

This pen truly is beautiful and I think it should be featured.

What do you think?

I do believe you would need to get in touch with our leader, Jeff Brown in regards to being on the front page. Thank you so much!!

Front Page - if you look at a list of front page photos, you may be able to detect a pattern of sorts in the posts. Yes, each are different, but they all have a close pattern in the way that they are laid out. Sometimes they are different. Yet there is a general layout that seems to be preferred.

Right Timing of post. If a fine pen is posted within a day or two of a new Front page, it may be passed over for one that is more recent when it is time for the next.

A good Photograph is a requirement. It Must look good! Not photoshopped too much.

A Great Pen - needless to say.

Unique pens or pens that break new ground and meet the other criteria mentioned.

Creator not having been on front page before. There may have been one or two over the years to be "repeats," but from my observations, not usually.

These are purely my "observations" over the years.
