I think Michael (mecompco) has been too busy writing with the pen I sent him to post pics!
I know it arrived last week and that he's been putting it to good use! :wink:
Yes, I have been putting Matt's pen to good use. By dropping deviously subtle hints (think Ralphie in A Christmas Story), Matt decided entirely upon his own to make me a pen out of my all time favorite timber, Desert Iron Wood. :biggrin:
Getting me out of my comfort zone and into a FP was his idea--and thanks! I am so loving this pen. My photos don't do the pen justice, but fit, finish, and materials are top-notch.
As you can further see, Matt was extremely generous in sending blanks. Two awesome DIW blanks, Curley Claro Walnut, Black Ash Burl, Stabilized Buckeye Burl, Maple Burl, and an amazingly nice Crosscut Flamed stabilized Boxelder! Oh, I almost forgot, two containers of premium ink.
My last word is that this PITH was great fun and I hope that I gave as good as I got (though I admit that Matt's skill is above mine).
Regards,
Michael
