[|)]Good Morning All!
[?]Got a question for the more experienced than me people.
First, is there a decent pencil kit out there? After reading about all the problematic ones, I'm not sure if I should change my plans. I had planned on making a pen/pencil/letter opener/ mag glss set for each of us kids and Mom from the African Mahogany my Grandfather had brought back from his missionary days. But now, i am hearing all these horror stories. It needs to be something that will stand up to daily use. Don't know if they will get it--my siblings are sometimes rather strange in thier tastes. Is there something that would utlize this wood better? I am talking about well seasoned shiping crate boards from the 50s and 60s. I hven't seen one in years, they are in TX, but I believe they are about 12x15--15x 1/2 to 3/4''. They are rough cut, and I'm sure there will be some wastage due to checking, cracks, etc. I need a total of 6 if I make sets for the sibs and Mom, of if I just do pens, and include the grandkids, I need 15.Thanks again!
