[traderdon55]

Addresses exchanged, now to see if I can remember how to make a pen, let's see I think it was supposed to be made out of something called wood. Oh well I'll get another cup of coffee and maybe it will all come back to me.

 

[juteck]

I have the address where I need to send a pen......so here's the teaser......it comes from this flowering tree.....

 

[Sully]

[jhprice]

Been in contact with my sender and waiting for my recipient. Now, hold my beer...

 

[pfde4]

Waiting for reply

Well sent out PM. Nothing back as of yet. All this time going by gives me plenty of time to figure out what to make out of all this MDF. Now how to use it? Segmented… crosscut….diagonal….mix in some resin???

Anyone know how much it costs to mail a pen to South Africa. Still waiting to hear back from terryf in Pretoria. He's a bomb disposal expert.

However, I don't know if I can send this. The finish isn't full of bare spots and ridges!!! How can I send such a thing?!?!?!
