Take a guess
Really impressed with the quality of timber after it's been stabilised Jim, it certainly makes for an excellent pen :thumbs:

We have a saying when things go belly up saying they are cactus your pen stands close inspection and I love it when you can see clearly both the body and top of the pen to admire it further the last one the top was in the shade. At the bottom of Western Australia the coastline is called the great australian bight shaped like some giant bite shape, Jim you recovered that blank so well to make it a feature.Equaly beautiful IMHO Jim.

Peter. Like the way you mine for blanks worth every minute of time good on you mate.:fingers::fingers::fingers:.

Oooh! Jim, you've made a really beautiful pen there!!! This falls into the class of an "Heirloom" piece - summat that's going to be passed down through generations of the same family! Well done!

Bob.

Me again,

Having seen Jim's lovely pen I've got to try some of that cactus juice. How is it used/where to get it?

Bob.
