Where's all of our Intenational friends out there ? Canada, England, London, Scotland, Australia, Germany ? Let's make this the biggest PITH ever !! We're already up to 6 pages of responses in less than 24 hours and still have a little less than 2 weeks to go.

Lance,

The Brits don't REALLY make pens.

They find pictures and post them, but can't ship a picture.[}:)][}:)][}:)]

(First time in a long time, "Ducks and runs for cover"!!):D:D

And if she gets "Skippy", I suspect the turning job may be a little "rough" (since I will be turning it!!)

For anyone else (except maybe Cav or Lou or......)well, mostly anyone else, it will be a BEAUTIFUL PRPrincess blank, finished <s>to perfection</s>...........<s>pretty well</s>,............ well, finished!!:D:D:D

Would this be ok for everyone else though. I'm still only learning and i don't want to send someone a bad pen for a top notch pen

Keith and others (newer members, especially):

There are members here who have been turning less than a tenth of the time I have. They have turned less than a tenth of the pens I have. And they turn pens that are ten times more creative than mine.

I think it is safe to assume we all turned a "rough" pen when we started and we all VALUE the effort that goes into ANY penmaking. Don't be afraid, JUMP in!!!!!!!!! I'd be VERY surprised if anyone CRITICIZES any pen they receive.

Just my opinion!

A rough pen!!! Mine seem to be nothing only rough pens. I'd love to be able to turn beautiful pens like you guys. When you turn pens you do the blanks and kits justice, i don't

Cool! I'm in, too!

I really enjoyed the last one!

To Keith and others who are hesitant, I ain't the best <s>penlamker</s> penmaker either. But I've enjoyed every minute and I'm thrilled to have a chance to make a pen for any of you. Even more, I'm looking forward to the pen one of you makes for me.

As Ed said,
