Excellent! I had sorta mentally written that one off, but ya done good with it. Now the question, you going to keep it or sell it?

This was going to be a keeper when Bree sent me the blank.It goes in with my collection of pens made from blanks that other friends sent me.Thank you James!

Great save my friend! Do you want to start a pool on how many coats of CA it took to fix the mistake? Kinda like jellybeans in a jar?

My dad always said that the mark of a craftsman is the ability to hide his mistakes so well that they look like a design element. You da craftsman.
