My first pens and picture post.

[Bill MacLachlan]

If all goes well the attached picture will show one my first batches of pens and pencils, and first attempt at attaching a picture. Thanks to all who I picked up ideas from on both. I enjoy the Mont Blanc size and style. I have tried turning cherry, ash, padauk, bloodwood and cocobola??
Thanks, Bill

It looks like it did not work. So I do not understand how you guys imbed a picture into your thread.

[Bill MacLachlan]

Read instructions and will try again.

Bill,

Very nice work Bill.

<p>p.s. when using the attach file feature you must not preview after inserting the 'attach file' information or it will delete that information when you do a "preview". Just preview you text until you are satisfied and do the insert as the last operation before you post the message

Love the pens man, those look awesome... I really like the european pens too. Made a few this weekend. My Dad requested one out of Ebony. Man that looked good with the satin gold finish. Looked almost like those Monte Blanc pens. Great Job.

I just started doing pens a couple of weeks ago myself and fell in love with it. After doing a lot of bowls, it's fun to do a few pens to relax and have fun. Congrats and keep up the good work. I'll look forawrd to seeing lots more picts!

Thanks all for the kind words.
Ken; I found out what you mentioned when I went back and searched the old notes.
Now back to finishing the lingerie chest and pair of night tables before golf season starts!!
