ironically, I am looking for some more dilithium crystals to complete my pen....oops. was that a tease?

Anyone have a suggestion on how to keep an Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator from detonating while I try to make this pen?

What makes things worse is I think I broke my thumb earlier today :beat-up::doctor: and now I don't know if I can even make another. Going to the doc later today to know for sure. Right now I can't do anything with my right hand!

Any chance turned mechanical pencils like the one below qualify for this contest?

HAh I just got back from the post office run. Im way ahead of schedule this time. Shoot I even made a pen in less than 2 days this time. IT barely took me 8 hours to make the pen last night, Finished up around Midnight. Final polish and inspection today and away it goes.

Yes, I really can't set a date to announce when I don't have hard dates for the judging to be done. It will be done when it's done. And don't forget that not only mailing between judges being a time consideration, but also two magazines doing photographs of the pens. I think I'm being pretty optimistic about mentioning November 1st!

As for when the pens will be returned, that will happen as soon as I get them back from the last judge.

I hope this helps!

Scott.

This quote seems to indicate the pens will be returned.

This may have been asked in an earlier post, but I did not read the whole thread.

Just wondering why, if WOODTURNING DESIGN magazine, which caters to WOODTURNERS, does not have a class for straight WOODEN PENS.

I understand there is a segmenting class, and they can be entered into the open class, but the chances of a nice good old fashioned wooden pen has almost (and note I said almost) no chance of winning.
The chances are very very great that it will be a shiny bling pen.

So, once again, why no WOOD ONLY class in a WOODturning magazine.

Just my thoughts

Jerry

From the rules

I would have thought that they would have had a catagory that was just for a wood pen as well. Maybe next year, maybe not.

Well, Jerry, you know one judge (Kurt) and another is the WOODturning Design editor. So, I would think WOOD would have a reasonably good chance. Two out of three judges are "prone" to wood.

But if you DON'T enter, I can assure you, not only will you not WIN, you won't even PLACE!!!
