2017 Summer Extravaganza Pretty Wood Pen Contest

While CREID and Mr. Vic are busy misdirecting you to the wrong places, or sweating their nibs off, saunter on over to the 2017 Summer Extravaganza Pretty Wood Pen Contest (hereafter, SEPWPC).

No sense wasting a good PWP in SOYP if it qualifies for entry, right?

This is the contest for people that just want to make a fantastic wood pen in the simplest form. Just wood, any unmodified and commercially available component/kit (fountain, twist, roller, click,), and your time. It's that simple.

Join in, and help us agonize the voters having to select the prettiest of the PWP.

Pretty cool over here too.:biggrin:

Must I 'saunter' ?? I'm more of a "mosey"... lol!
Thanks for the heads up!

However you choose to perambulate is good with me.

Well, maybe with the exception of prancing. We are pen makers that use sharp tools. Pen makers do not prance.

Speaking of sharp tools... Thanks to a dropped skew chisel, I'm hopping on one foot.

Never fry bacon in the nude, either.

I had some pretty wood show up in my mailbox today. Good thing I'm not eligible to enter.
