One for the Boy Scouts - #127

[EarlD]

The local Boy Scouts have a wild game dinner as their annual fund raiser and each year there's a silent auction of donated items. I made this especially for the auction and will also donate one of my Comforts with a Brooks blank.

This is a Jr. Gent II in Rhodium in an Amboyna Burl blank I picked up at the Atlanta meeting this month. Turned both pieces right down to finished size on the MicroMark 7x16, then sanded a little to make room for about 12 coats of CA. MM to 12k and my usual Beall's buffing.

Comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Wow nice pen Earl. Hope brings in good money for the B.S.

Earl - nice pen and finish.
By the way, bring me some Jimmies Hot Dogs when you come back

That's a very beautiful pen Earl. I'm sure some Boy Scott supporter will be very pleased with it, and it will raise lots of money for the cause.

Lol. I dont think 3.5 hours in a car with a sack of jimmies hot dogs would be a very pleasant trip!

Very nice Earl. And good on you for helping the scouts. I just sent 3 up to our District for their yearly fundraiser in Nov.

The pen sold for $55 and one of my Comforts in a Brooks803 blank sold for $31 so the Scouts made a little money out of them.
