new special order

[paintspill]

finally got an order, its been a while since i sold a pen. got an email from the wifes cousin, (the one i like) to make a pen for his dad for his birthday. i showed him some kits and he decided on one of the nicest ones. our canadiana, can't remember what they call it south of the border, he is bringing me wood on the weekend. a fallen tree from their property, i love the pens with a story and i love making a pen for someone as appose to just building an inventory. more pressure i know but there is so much more life to them. hopefully pictures in the next few weeks

so, as for the post above. i got the wood delivered today. not exactly what i was expecting but he tells me he might want some more pens for christmas. i put a slim line on top to give you an idea of scale. good thing i have a big bandsaw.
