I've been out of town for more than a week. I set the answering machine and today picked up my messages. Major-major surprise waiting for me. A representative of a billion dollar philanthropic institution left a message to call back. After I called and a nice conversation, it turns out she wants my pens in their upscale gift shop. Not only will this be nice business but is super flattering to me. She also wants my duck calls. Now, the concern is, will I be able to keep up with demand. May have to change from my current one-at-a-time to a batch method.

Are you sure she didn't confuse your work with mine? Oh, no, wait...she'd be calling to RETURN them if they were mine! lol... Nice gloat, and CONGRATULATIONS!

Hope you cn keep up, being sorta Retired and all that![;)]

"Retired?" Sometimes I think that should be spelled: 'retarded'. [;)] I'm supposed to be doing the rocking chair bit. Instead, I ride ATVs, camp pre-1840 style in buckskin clothes and make shavings in my shop. Oh, well. [:D]

That is great Frank. Doesn't being retired mean you get to do whatever you like, when you like? Sounds to me like you're enjoying life. Good for you.

Seriously, the forums have gotten me here. Both forums I frequent have been my tutors and mentors. My finishes would still be original 'icky' if I hadn't seen what can be done.
