Thanks everyone, I know they aren’t much to look at and certainly didn’t take much skill. Just thought it was cool how nature helped out.

Thanks again.

Neat way to use the natural wood. May have to keep an eye out for that kind of wood.

Hi Rob;
—-busy as a bee and bee-ing able to captivate, bee-work-able-wood as an ongoing worker of wood in your bee-ing….!

This project is all about bees bee-ing bees and you bee-ing a maker of great bee-live-able pen and pencils holders. And who knows but now that your children have these wonder-full holders of stories, that they might some day pick up pen and paper….and write their own versions of the story that comes from the wood?

....and so once again, but not the last I’m sure….,

I thank you for sharing this one with us at LJ.
GODSPEED,
Frank

thanks all..
and I’ve often wondered how many bees made all these holes, was it “Two bees or not two bees”? That’s my question.

-- Rob (A) Waxahachie,TX

Nature inspired, naturally made!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

sweet. what great teamwork—the worker bees and the ingenious artist!

Hi Rob,

How did I miss this when you originally posted it? This one made my day. It must bee nice to have help like this.

Nice post and I will try to bee more timely with my comments in the future. (Enough with the bee jokes right).
