I was asked to make some pens

[Smokey Bacon]

I was looking through the internet at various kinds of pen kits there are on the market and my better half saw the bolt action ones and said 'Oh I like those can I have one in padauk a big one and a small one?'
Now who am I to refuse such a request especially after all she went through when my heart went ape.
Well here is the one in padauk (I've no idea where the small one is, lost no doubt in the depths of her bag I guess and not worth my life venturing into that black abyss).

sorry about the picture again.
Her friend saw her pen and ordered three mini ones in cocobolo after seeing my fountain pen. Here they are hope she likes them they are for her brothers I think she said.

Hi Smokey from somewhere in the United Kingdom sounds very James Bond. Your pens are not your first obviously because they are outstanding in their workmanship your choices all round came together beautifully. They are exciting making me sure you will be the favourite brother in law and husband extrordinair.

And you are right delving into a womans handbag or drawers is fraught with possibilities scary thought all round. My wife does not drive therefor for ever it seems she had to really delve to locate proof of identity but in the last many years has proved great for me with two 2000 odd manufacture vehicles we get the 500 dollar rego discount for both of us. Still 31 degrees C at 8.30 pm up round 40 degrees today again.

Kind regards Peter.:pounds:

I too didn't know there were mini versions of the bullet pen. Well crafted Mr Bacon and a lovely finish, anybody in their right mind would be pleased to get such gifts.

I once fell into my wifes bag and was there for 3 days before I could find my way out again.

I got them from 'pencrafts' (sorry not worked out how to do the linky thing yet).
I was just cruising various places that sold pen kits and well, got some out of curiosity. Very satisfied with their service too.
