I wonder if anyone here knows enough weaving to so something similar

I think for the money, I would be more partial to Curtis' cat$h!t pen. But that is just me.

the pen looks like one of the carbon fiber pens created by some of our own members. Is it worth $8000 to use my own horses tail? I...don't....think....so! I have seen several of their pens of the year and believe that many of the IAP artisians do work of the same quality or better. Whats a name worth? Heres a pic of the pen of the year.

Hey, I went to the Atlanta pen show back around march or so and they had some pens that went for $10,000 (Don't know how many sold) But you heard of Pigeon poop ear rings that made a fellow rich?? Guess I'll have to start saving my pigeon poop for a pen. (Why not) Then there was the fellow that sold pet rocks

I didn't see any pens on that link, Alex.

You'd think for $8,000, I could get a horse so I could have the hair to make the pen out of in the first place!
