Nice! Honduran rosewood burl?
Yes this was some HRB that he picked up from a local supplier. I was impressed with the wood quality. ALMOST as good as Nolans Insane Rosewood Burl
Tell him....NPGJ........I'm now sure that I'm being chastised from above
.
Yes Roy you are and he is enjoying giving you a hard time. Bet you have a hard time with the next pen you turn which would be a sign of him getting even.
Wow! Linda taught him well!
No Lou, it was not Linda who taught him. She will tell you he is unteachable. Actually he is mostly self taught. He is even using CA/BLO finishes and we have never tried the BLO.
Thanks! Haven't seen that in a long time. Fitting; it's almost the 4th.
Every time I look through this category in the forum I think of that acronym. It is more than appropriate and the timing was no accident.
Yes this means nice pen / good job. This goes back a few years to an old friend who passed away two years ago on July 4th. He hated the NPGJ comments and thought that folks should be honest with what they see. Not everyone had skin as tough as his, not a tongue as sharp. I sorely miss those days and his sharp wit. Although he was know for the NPGJ, my all time favorite line of his was, "Go forth and procreate alone". We should all aspire to be such a free spirit.
