Title: Just thought I would share.
Post by: HaMeR on June 02, 2008, 08:51:44 PM
 :biggrin:

As we all know,,, work sucks,,, & this evening I finally got to get back to the lathe. I have a couple orders to make up for retirements plus I owe a favor back to a good Friend so I decided work be damned I'm gonna whittle me up some pens & pencils.  :eyebrownod:

Cherry Burl Gatsby click pen/pencil set. This set has some nice figure in it for cherry. This is the pencil & the pen is nearly identical.

Here is a Sketch Artists pencil. Maple Burl dyed Red. This sucker uses a 5.6mm  lead. When I order one of these I get the red/green/blue refills & include it in the price.  :wink:

The Gatsby set is for sale. I would like for Scott {iahntr} to have 1st dibs if you all don't mind.

Thanks Chad. You know I would be more than happy to make you one for her.  :biggrin:  If you're interested let me know early. This is the only kit I had. I will order one & you can pick the wood you like. I can do $30 on these S&I.  :wink:

Very cool Glen! I'd be honored to take that set off your hands!
Actually, I showed my wife some of your work, and she took a perty strong liking to it,

But now I'll still hafta get one for myself sometime  :confused:  :biggrin:
I'm sure we can work that out later too.  :wink:
