Jack Daniels

[paulm]

I was given some staves of a Jack Daniels barrel and I said I would make a few pens in payment so this is it, a pair of Jr Gents, I gotta start getting rid of them

the truth is I was ask to go into partnership with a guy from another forum buying whisky barrels and cutting them up for pen blanks which I declined I didnt want to go into businesses this is my hobby and I guard it as such in the end I agreed to help him cut up the barrels as I had a heavy duty bandsaw and be paid with the expensive pen kits they sold to Turners retreat, Timber bits and an american company anyway to cut a long story short he tried to take liberty's loading most of the work onto me for cheaper and less kits so that friendship come to a very prompt end and that is it in a nut shell

Its a shame that some people have to be so greedy the let a veil come over everything else. Fortunately there are still honest, generous people in the world that will always outshine the others.

I haven't met a single person on this forum yet Woody who isn't in the 2nd category and thats why there are so many members. I for one wouldn't be here if it wasn't a happy go lucky site. Oh and of course if it didn't have a plonkers club as I would be out of place if there wasn't

Gotta make sure the barrels dry before cutting it up, though I'm sure there was no need to lick the insides

 

[Grump]

I still have one of the very expensive barrel tops from that little enterprise dad.
I wonder which daft poor sucker is doing em now if anyone, or are they still selling old stock from the first fad.
Nice pens Paul and you have finished em brilliantly doc.

 

[Terry]

I know what you mean Ed but I just can't brink myself to abandon kits I've already got. Only about 10 kits to go
