Not the President but my Senator and Congressman

[kyaggie]

Hello all,

I was asked to make pens for presentation to my senator and congressman, Rand Paul and Andy Barr, respectively, for a fundraiser that they attended and gave speeches at. I also made a pen and a bottle stopper for the silent auction. All of the pens are stainless steel Liberty pens from Laserlinez dressed in buckeye burl and the bottle stopper is a stainless steel Ruth Niles with white oak. The pen brought $100 and the bottle stopper brought $30.

Very cool, and well done for donating auction items.

Them some cheapskates at the silent auction. Those should have sold for more.

Congrats on the honor.

Some great turnings here! The silent auction is always fun, and kind of gives you a good idea on the value of the items that you make(for later sales).



Well done!

How much lead time did you get to make the pens?

That is what it sounded, and looked like. I just wanted to check and see on that. My #1 concern was give the artist enough time to do the job right.
