Walnut gloat

[Rick_G]

A young fellow down the street has been cleaning our sidewalk after nearly every storm this winter. His parents won't let him take any money so I made this set for him. As a pen kit they are nothing special but this was some of the walnut burl I was given earlier this year. I was real happy with it. Got enough like this for about 20 pens and a larger piece about 3 ft, x 8" x 8" Haven't figured what to do with it yet but I can see at least 1 peppermill.

A great lesson to be learned, both from the parents, and you. Pardon the pun, but:

"Do a good turn for a neighbor/friend, and they will do a good turn for you."

Seriously, though, I love to hear about stories like this. And great job on the pen/pencil set.

That is a very nice thing he has done for you.

And that is something special you have done for him.

Great work to the both of you.

Great gesture and the pens look great. Love the walnut, gorgeous grains and great fit and finish. They are better than cash for me. Great work!

Not all that glitters is gold! Great gesture on you part Rick

Nice deed the neighbor boy did, even nicer of what you provided in return!
Next time he's out picking up branches, invite him (with parents permission) and show him how to use the lathe. He'll remember that for years to come.
Beautiful pen & pencil set!
