No more

Hi all,
Twenty some years ago I was driving from Portland, Me to Rockland on business when I happened on the "clam shelling" of the S/V Hesper and Luther Little.

I stopped to watch for a while and as I did a plank washed ashore with a trunnel "peg" protruding out one side. So I banged it out with a rock, put it in my pocket without the slightest idea what I was going to do with it. Then along came pen making. It became a Christmas gift for a good friend.

You've made a lovely pen from a piece of flotsam.

WOW! That is some transformation. Well done indeed!

Very Nice! At first I was thinking why "No More" because it looks awesome. Then I looked at the link and saw that the ships were demolished. Now I'm guessing there's "No More" material.

Correct

Interesting history behind the ships. You were probably pretty lucky to find such a nice piece and be able to turn it into something beautiful.

Thank you. Yes, very sad indeed.
