Over the past several years, I have purchased blanks from
Gary. I love Gary's blanks! I usually make the larger pens with his blanks for auctions at charity events or gals benefiting kids....and make his Mickey and Minnie Mouse watch blanks as gifts for brave little guys and girls that I feel privileged to treat. So...as many as I have made.... I have given them all away....
So, for my birthday this year, I decided to treat myself to one of Gary's magical blanks and sent him an order...

What I got back in return was:

1. A PM :

"There will be no charge for this. You have no say in this one. Your generosity giving these to others and promoting happiness needs to be rewarded. I believe in karma. "

Sincerely,
Capt. Gary Nicholls

2. A package with not one but three sets of blanks for the Emperor, Jr. Emperor and Wall Street II as well as of the Wall Street II components that matched the blank perfectly.


Gary...I don't know what to say except THANK YOU!!!!!
You are truly awesome....an officer and a gentleman.

Regards,
Doc:smile:

are these specific spots? im just trying to see what you are talking about. The only besides where the arrows point to, is the lower barrel that looks like there too much exposure

Looking at the picture I can see reflections of a darker area in the surrounding environment, a testament to the polish on the pen.
 
Doc, and CaptG,
Congratulations on your Outstanding Collaboration,
The Pens, and Blanks are Magnificent.

They are only over shadowed, by your Loving and Generous Natures.

It is wonderful to be associated with, and to witness such people, whose Caring and Generosity, is constantly and unselfishly given.

You are Beautiful People, and an Outstanding Example for others to Emulate.

Sincerely,
Brian.

First pen about 10 areas stands out to me on the cap, 4 areas on the body. the last pen it's about 5 areas.

Yep... Ed..that's so cool... You can count... What's even cooler is when you rotate the pen counterclockwise by 5 degrees radian or greater the pen the cloudy part disappears and shiny missing portion of the very nicely imbedded and clearly cast metal artifact just pops right up !!!! Amazing!!!! Hmm...something vaguely familiar about that concept from a high school physics class I might have taken.:smile:
