Pen Turners' Swap #2 #1: Pen Turners' Swap #2 is Underway!

Woo-hoo, here we go again!!!

All right. Did you start out with a bigger box.

My knees are shaking with anticipation.

-- Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit.

I’m not partisapating this time, but i’m still excited to see the contents.

-- Andy Stark

Karson, I did get a bigger box – it was unintentional but I grabbed the one a size up from the last box. Plenty of growing room in this one!

I am unable to be part of pen trade #2 due to working on a really big project that is taking up a lot of my time but look forward to seeing the travels of this round. Hopefully will be finished up on this project by the end of June and back in my own workshop on a full time basis. Until then hope everyone has fun with this.

-- Genius is immediate, but talent takes time.

So… Excited… Can’t… Wait…

Thanks for getting this together, Tim!

Ok guys. I recieved the Box . I must say there is some very nice stuff here. I removed a pen made by tim, the craftmanship is very nice on this pen. I cut a 70 year old Carolina Dogwood down last weekend that was dieing. It made some very pretty wood blanks . A deep carmel color with streaks of Pink in it. I made a couple of pen blanks out of that and put them in the box. I have also placed a Large piece of corian in there for turning pens. It should make 2 or 3 blanks for wallstreet style pens. I hope to get the box out this weekend and back on its way to the next person. I will be adding a pen kit or 2 and a couple of pens in there as well . Would just like to say thanks guys for including me in the group and making me feel welcome :-)
