FOG Choice

This is what I have chosen as a FOG piece.

Thanks

Bummer, I missed this one and just was in Arizona and picked up all types of stuff off the ground. If someone has to back out, let me know and I'll step in for them...

I have been in contact with both of my partners.

Here is The FOG I'm using for WOODWZRD's pen. It's a section of a fence post that was found by a friend of mine. It has a really interesting story. But that will have to wait till he receives the pen.

Everyone contacted. Since we live in the high desert...I'm looking for some sand...or maybe a scavenged animal carcass :eek::wink:
 
I went out to do some FOG shopping in the field in front of my work. Scored some nice stuff with good color. It should make a cool pen!

Here's a teaser pic....

Small (baseball size) Oak burl that was lying in the middle of the street on our way home from Lowes a couple of weeks ago. This is as good a time as any to use it. It's pretty heavy so I'm thinking it won't be a crumbling mess inside, but we'll see....

Pen is finished and ready to be in the mail tomorrow but I may have broken the rules because it is not a fog it a fow so if ROUNDER does not like it I have him ship it forward. Pictures and story to come after he receives it.

Cutting this thing up revealed rock hard wood, but had cracks throughout. Pretty sure I can use it, but it will have some colored fills in the final pen, (which isn't neccesarily a bad thing).
 
PITH Teaser

I had a pretty productive FOG hunting trip last weekend. There is bound to be a pen in here somewhere. All I have to do is cut away everything that doesn't look like a pen.

There's a lot of great FOG running around on this thread!!!

I want to remind everyone that you should be in contact with your partner by no later than the 12th...

I heard from a few people early on who had not been contacted yet, but urged them to hold tight as I had given everyone until the 12th to make contact.

At this time, if you have not heard from either or both of your PITH partners, please let me know immediately. I will give them a nudge and if they have not responded by the 12th they will be replaced with an alternate.
 
My FOG definitely came from a tree at one point. It may have been in my shed for a while, and is definitely something I have NOT seen posted anywhere here.
 
I have been in contact with both of my trade partner and have done some FOG hunting. My first trip out produced this... After a catastrophic failure with my stabilizing chamber today I may need to do some more FOG hunting for something a little more solid.
