Pen Turners' Swap #4: We're going international with this thing...

627 days ago by itsme_timd | 29 comments »

Hi Jocks, ScottB just let us know he’ll drop the packaging in the mail. From the way it looks at sounds you’ll now need a loading dock if you want to be part of the pen trade, no more of this sissy carrying a box to the front door stuff for us! Here’s a map update… ...and how the spread looked when ScottB received it… He’ll share some pics soon on the outgoing package… per Scott the package is busting at the seams. You guys are a...

Pen Turners' Swap #5: We're on the move again... welcome to Canada!

608 days ago by itsme_timd | 18 comments »

Hey Jocks, I received quite a few emails during this leg of the trade, unfortunately it took a bit longer than anticipated for the box to make it to Relic in Nova Scotia, but it is there now and we are moving right along. Here’s the latest map… After Relic makes his trades the box is off to Rikkor in Minnesota and then wayyy over on the Left Coast to Nils in CA – then it’s back ‘home’ to Georgia. Looks like it will probably head off again sinc...

637 days ago by itsme_timd | 17 comments »

The box is on the move again! A short trip this time from Karson to FrankA. Frank received the box yesterday but hasn’t had a chance to go through it – some story about -5 degrees and a dead oil burner. We’ll work with him some on getting his priorities in order before the next trade… :-) The box is ‘chilling’ in New York right now, here’s where we’ve been so far: Stay tuned as the drama unfolds and we answer gripping questions like...

649 days ago by itsme_timd | 17 comments »

A few of us her at LJ that turn pens decided to get together and swap some of goodies. We’ve started a package moving around the country (actually, around North America – we dip into Canada as well!) containing 5 turned pens, 5 pen kits and 5 blanks. Here’s a map to show where we’re located and where our pens will travel: When each Jock gets the package he’ll go through it and decide what he wants to take from it, he can take all or nothing but… what...

Round 3 of the pen trade.

406 days ago by Karson | 13 comments »

The Box arrived today Sat. Oct 18,2008. It looks different from when I saw it last. I removed some Ca Olive, TulipWood, Brazilian Cherry and Eucuaplus. I added 6 Spalted Holly, 5 Spalted Maple and 18 Cherry Burl. The reasion that I asked Tim for the number of people in this series is because i wanted to put in one pen blank for each person that is participating in Round #3. I talked to Tim about this while Round 2 was still running. I had a cherry burl placed in my driveway and...

Hey Everyone, The pen trade box is moving right along! As many of us suspected, Karson loaded the box as much as he could – thanks again, Karson! The box is on it’s way to Frank in NY now, ain’t he a lucky guy to get this right after Karson??? Here’s the latest map… Hope everyone is having fun with this, I know I am! TedM and I exchanged a few emails and, for now, he’s going to step out of the trade rotation. We hate to see him go but we ...
