Pen Turners' Swap #7: Final stop on our North American tour!

I’ve got it now, sitting on the kitchen table. I’ll be opening it in a little while, taking pictures of the mass of blanks that it seems to have acquired.

Well still waiting for the pictures.

Here are the pictures of the giant box – I posted them over in my blog and Tim asked me to repost over here.

Actually, the box isn’t “giant” – but it’s jammed full, and pretty heavy.

The first thing I find when I open it is Tim’s extensive instructions to the swappers.

And then a sheet for each of us to fill in what we added and what we removed.

Finally, after the ream of paper at the top, here are the blanks!

The box started with five blanks, five pens, and five pen kits. By the time I got it, it still has five pen kits, but nine pens, and 42! blanks.

I’ll be adding two pens to the box – a red and black acrylic cigar pen, and a very pretty Zebrawood Euro style.

I hope to get the box ready to go back in the mail this weekend. I have a few chunks of wood I want to mill some pen blanks out of to add to the box. If I can accomplish that, we’ll be on the road.
