Hi Woody, I love this pen. If you feel like making another one i'd be glad to buy it from you. A friend of mine is soon to run Scarborough to Morecambe, 123 miles in 5 days in aid of Help for Heroes as he is in the TA himself. I am driving the support vehicle for him. It would make a nice finishing line gift :)

Woody,
           this exemplifies what woodturning is all about. The chance to do some turning and help someone at the same time and all for the correct motives.
Well done.
Regards
John BHT
