I told Lance that I wass going to make him a pen, as a thnaks for organizing this. So I did, this is it, Walnut From CA, finished with CA/BLO

the photo is not great but Hopefully Lance will take a better one, I was in a rush to get it in the mail and I did not expect to be posting this one!

Lance enjoy!!:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Jay. thanks very much for the pen. It came out great and the fit and CA finish is perfect. I wish I could take a pic of it. I sold my camera a couple of weeks ago and I still haven't replaced it yet .

Here is the pen I made for Scoutharps (Valerie). A Jr. Retro in Amboyna burl with a home brewed turquoise PR and giftcards (white). This was a fun pen to make and provided many new challenges (Drilling in line with the stripe, replacing the centerband, custon finial, Closed end (although I've done a few of these already)). Its fitted with one of Lou's Heritance SF fine nibs. I made the body of the pen as short as possible to still fit the long ink cartridges or the ink pump. From what I've heard Valerie likes the pen.

That is a fantastic piece of work. I'm at a loss for words, and that's unusual. Just when I think I've seen it all, someone comes in with something like this.
Super job!!

I received my PITH from Louis Bryant (louisbry). I hit the jack pot. I received a cigar pen made from some historic wood, walnut from Gen Braggs headquarters in Tullahoma, Tn during the Civil War. I also received a great segmented pen made from walnut,cherry/wenge/african blackwood. The fit and finish are beautiful. Sorry I can't take better pictures because the are both fabulous pen. Thanks Louis.

Really disappointed!!

I sent Rob Grauke (great12b4ever) his pen. All he got was a big white envelope from the Post Office telling him how sorry they were that the package got damaged in the mail. The pen was in a bubble wrap envelope with a pen box with my card inside so I doubt it was damaged so bad they could not have returned it. Someone got a real nice pen.

Here is the pen he would have gotten. The top of the pen is from a blank I won at the Birthday Bash from Keith Larrett (VisExp). We don't talk about what happened to the bottom of that gift blank.:frown: I will send Rob another pen even though he insisted that I not do that. It's never wrong to do the right thing! I will pack this one better however.

Man! Sorry to hear that.

I got to hold this one guys it was a nice one, well I'm sure it still is.

Might be appropriate to check the P.O. employees at both ends of this one.

PITH pen for Nancy Laird

Well this is the pen I made for Nancy. She was very nice to photo the pen for me because I forgot to do it before I sent it to her. It is Cocobolo burl on a TN gold Sierra. All comments welcomed good or bad.

Wow! Nolan good job! I wish I could do that good of a job.

A beautiful PITH

I was fortunate enough to receive this beautiful Rosewood Burl Baron that was put in the hat by Angela Boykin (angboy). :biggrin:

The wood/blank is stunning and the penmanship appears flawless. I am very excited to add this to my collection.

Pen from redfishsc

This is the beautiful aluminum pen I got from redfishsc. It's absolutely beautiful, shiny and smoothe as glass, and has a great weight to it. It's inspired me to want to turn the aluminum pen blanks I bought probably two years ago! Plus he was quite generous with a bunch of awesome pen blanks he threw in. The whole PITH experience has just been great everytime I've done it and thanks to redfishsc for being a great PITH partner! The picture doesn't do it the justice it deserves, but hopefully it gives something of an idea of the beauty of the pen!

Thanks Les for the beautiful pen (and other goodies). And thanks too for posting the images for me. I've been in the process of installing a new computer in the store, and between getting our Point Of Sale system moved, and sorting out the usual problems associated with setting up email etc. we've been without that PC for a couple of days. This one at home I have to compete with a couple of kids for!

Great pen, thanks again Les.
