I'm an extreme rookie at pen making, but wanted to show off some of the wood I got from Peter Hay in Australia. The one on the left is Coolibah burl and the one on the right is Bimble Box Burl. C&C always welcome.

Beautifully done. Those Aussies have some of the best looking burls.

Bob,
You did me proud and I do know one pen from others, real happy to see you making good mileage from those blanks. At the end of the month I may be in a position to share at a real good cost with others I expect 500 blanks coming to me all Aussie wonders from a mate of mine who bought a defunct dealers timber.

Kind regards to you and the wife who paid me so much respect Peter.:)
