Jim what a beaut two faced pen interest, concealment and surprise on both sides, time to show pics of your pen studio since the upward and onward results you are achieving now are the difference between night and day IMHO. Which way did you leap?

It was incredible.

The burl true colour?

Woody you have exchanged so many top blanks this one out of the box. There is no comparison between the forum even 6 mths ago so collaboration in person proves to me the way to travel and reinforces the introduction we experience in penmaking is exponential with gatherings and fine helpful people. My observations are the forum has established stronger roots with timber suppliers highly commendable.

Kind regards Peter.:thinks::goesred:
