VISIT TO HALIFAX, NS

[TAFFJ]

Hi
I am in Halifax from 10/14/2008 for 2 weeks. Is there any Penturners in the local area who would be prepared to put up with a like minded penturner for an hour or so?

Cool! I have relatives in Halifax, NS. But haven't spoken to them in decades . . . sorry. But enjoy your stay. And if you run across a Tobin, they may not know me - but we're related.

Hope you find a pen turner there.

Well, I'll be there on the 12th and 13th but gone before you get there. There are a bunch or turners around Nova Scotia one who's work I admire is www.scotianpens.com. Darrel does beautiful work.

Darrell Eisner is a really nice guy. I met him and his wife, Beverly, at the Pen Turners Rendezvous last year and thoroughly enjoyed talking with both.

VISIT TO HALIFAX

My visit is nearly over! I had a great visit with Darrell Eisner. He gave my friend and myself a great tour of his workshop and how he operates. His pens are 1st class and I especially liked the pens completed with Scrimshaw. The artist is exceptional!! Thanks Darrell for the bag of Canadian Timber and a great visit! He is exhibiting this weekend in Dartmouth, N.S

Also a thank you to LEAP (Phil) and gerryr ( Gerry) for their kind comments.I now have two new friends who I can converse with. Take care Darrell
