Hi guys and girls!
First of all Merry Christmas to you all and your families wherever in the world you are. Greetings from England.
I'm new to pen making having spent a couple of years stick making. I have always admired the handmade pens that I have seen in various locations and now want to try it for myself. I am a Veteran having retired from the British Army after participating in the First Gulf War. My thoughts go out to all those currently still battling! I have also recently retired from a career in the police particularly in forensic science. Whilst I still do a bit of teachine and consulting I'm looking for a quieter life and my Army Disability Pension helps when I have to buy all these "new toys" as my wife calls them. You have a great site here and I have already been in touch with various suppliers who have been great including Ernie at Bear Tooth Woods, Jennifer at Craft Supplies USA and Ron Caddy at Acorn Studios here in England. Thank you all.
I'm looking forward to my new hobby and I bet that I'll be asking for help some time soon!!!
Best wishes to all on this holiday season.
