Was looking through some photos of some past pens i made and ran across this one. It was a funky looking blank that I had gotten somewhere and do not remember. But I made this about 8 years ago. I was doing a show and this women came over to my table and she started getting mad at herself and i asked her what the matter was. She said she wishes she saw my table first.
She bought a pen from some other person at the show and now she had seen mine and this one in particular. She stood there looking for about 10 minutes and walked away. I thought that was the last I would see of her. About an hour later she returned. She told me the story that she tried to return the pen she bought but the person did not want to do that and offered her an exchange. She did not like what else he had. To make a long story longer
just kidding, I sold her this pen and 2 others and gave her a great price and in exchange I took the other pen also. It only was another cigar pen but I took it apart and used the parts. The blank was an ordinary piece of oak.
The moral of the story was that this blank to me was not very appealing and thought i would have that in my inventory for the longest time. But it was a very short stay because i had just made that pen 2 days prior. You never know what will sell and what won't. If you could have seen the look on her face when she saw my table the first time it was priceless. :biggrin: One of those flashback moments
Oh yea the pen
