We were invited to a international pen swap over at the Pen Shop hosted by Australia's woodwork forum(http://www.woodworkforums.com). There are many countries represented in the swap, most of whom got to swap with someone down under.
I was lucky enough to swap with Amos(Woodenink). Quite the talented fellow, who allowed me to choose from several pens, most of which were Emperors and I would like to have chosen them all. However, wanting to be a gracious guest, I chose the stunning crosscut Cocobolo. It is an incredibly well made fountain pen, fit and finish are top shelf and writes like a dream.
For him, I made a rhodium jr retro rollerball and closed the end. Its body is stabilized, yellow dyed box elder burl from AS while the black accents are acrylic from CSUSA. He claims to be delighted with it, I hope he enjoys it.
Below are some photos of the swap.
