I participated in the Australian Wood Work Forum's Australia Day Pen Swap.....Below is a copy of my post there:

Title: This Swap Is Insane
Okay,i was trying to think of a clever way to rant about how this swap went. I just got mine today (posted mine to Australia Tuesday - another story) Well my swap partner SWINO really did a number on me. My wife picked the heavy package up at the post office and then hid it in my office. I found it an played it smart by not even trying to save the packaging. Last time I tried cost me 6 stiches on my thumb. Then it took foever to find the pen in this box full of stuff. Being a persistant individual I prevailed and un-earthed a Rhodium and Gold Statesman Fountain dressed in Coolabah. I've got no idea what to do with the rest of this stuff....



Seriously over the top.........I've already got an idea for a new pen so don't be suprised if another package show up....

WOW!!!! Not only did you get a beautiful pen you also got some awesome blanks. Look forward to seeing some of the pens that come from those blanks.
