NIce looking pen!
Bamboo, hey, I should have thought of that! :rolleyes:
Your image did not come through.
It is there, but mucked up.....
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b88/laurie1953/bambo.jpg
is the actual URL of the pic.
What you have is this........

As you can see, the red parts are not needed, so if you put the black text between the image tags your image will come through just fine.

i want to thank you for the fix on my picture. now this not my first pen. but it is the most unusal material i have found. every other bamboo i've seen are pretty plain. i've been turning or should i say the bug has been turning me for about 3 years. this is the worst virus i have ever had. :eek:
thanks, all of you, for your kind words and help.
laurie;)

Very nice...that bamboo looks super, Laurie!
And it's not a virus...it's an addiction of the strongest type. No hope of "recovery". Ever. :D

Nice pen Laurie, that bamboo looks great. Good looking kit as well. I think that is a Berea one if memory serves me.

Very nice job. Laurie. How is the bamboo to work with? Is it as splintery as it seems it would be? I've got a couple bamboo cutting boards that I use, and they are surprisingly smooth...just wondering if the same holds true for turned bamboo.

Nice looking pen Laurie!! That bamboo does have some cool character. I have a piece of Grapevine that I'm hoping for the same kind of results. We'll see. :)

Laurie,
Your Bamboo pen is excellent, and it looks very smooth!!
I thought that Bamboo would be stringy,
but you seem to have kept that under control.
Nicely done.
