I'm working through some large inlay blank orders, which means I have a lot of time while the mill is running. One of the the things I got to was something I'd been meaning to do for a while. My daughter is four and just starting to take an interest in writing (and loves drawing) so I wanted to make her a robust writing instrument. I decided on the workshop/sketch pencil because if it can survive a workshop environment it should cope better with a four-year-old (time will tell if I got that right).

Not paying too much attention, I grabbed a rippled ash blank that Doug sent me recently. Sorry Doug, but it didn't look like much as a blank. But in the finished pen - WOW WOW WOW!!!

So if you have any more of those blanks lying around Doug, you know where to send them!

[QUOTE="Jimjam66, post: 27081, member: 58"] I'm working through some large inlay blank orders, which means I have a lot of time while the mill is running. One of the the things I got to was something I'd been meaning to do for a while. My daughter is four and just starting to take an interest in writing (and loves drawing) so I wanted to make her a robust writing instrument. I decided on the workshop/sketch pencil because if it can survive a workshop environment it should cope better with a four-year-old (time will tell if I got that right). Not paying too much attention, I grabbed a rippled ash blank that Doug sent me recently. Sorry Doug, but it didn't look like much as a blank. But in the finished pen - WOW WOW WOW!!! :love_it::love_it::love_it: [ATTACH]2719._xfImport[/ATTACH] So if you have any more of those blanks lying around Doug, you know where to send them! :kiss::kiss: [/QUOTE]
