I had the pleasure of meeting Waymon Campbell and his lovely wife Fran yesterday. They stopped by The Old Rebel Workshop on their way from Texas to Bill Grumbine's BBQ.
Fran was inquisitive about the pen making process so I made her a Bethlehem Olivewood pen while they were here. I told her how ladies made expert pen turners :) and maybe she should get Waymon to buy her a lathe :). We basically talked FPP and woodworking in general for the rest of their visit. http://www.oldrebelworkshop.com/misc/waymon1.jpg
Although the visit was relatively short I sure did enjoy meeting these fine folks. It was nice of them to stop by. They were also kind enough to bring me a "really nice" Afzelia Burl bowl blank. I sure hope I can get around to getting it turned in the next week or so. I also plan on getting a few pens from it after rounding out the blank.
