One of my folks walked into my office this morning, Sir, understand you make pens, and held up a very interesting chunk of wood, looked like Bethlehem Olive Wood...which I suggested.
No Sir, wood from Belleau forest, got it when I was with Marine Forces Europe.
Was pretty stunned, nothing in return - gave it to me. Told him I would sell it and donate all the profit for Wounded Warriors, my usual course.
Will snap a pic, accidentally left it tucked away in my desk.
So THEN, I had a thought, I have been helping a fellow Marine who works at MarForEur out lately - e-mailed him, he has a bunch! They get dead fall from the cemetery. So I may be able to score more, he had a piece in his office already, working out the getting it here now.
So I need to figure out how to stabilize this before I cut it, its 3/4 x 3/4 x about 6 inches.
Perfect pen to turn out for our Birthday...
Working on a SECRET pen also - funny idea I had, took Secret red classification stickers and cast them with secret documents from our shredder. Cast the label on one and the shred in another, one with a label underneath and one just shred.
Got Top Secret ones to do also...should be neat.
