Very nice, Barry. A great way to start the Christmas season, even if it is July. :)

Nice pens Barry, great selection of woods, did your customer chose them or were the woods your choice.

Christmas in July... reminds me of those car commercials with the guys that turn the volume up way to loud. "Christmas in July! We've got everything on sale! You can't miss this SALE!"

Nice looking bunch of pens Barry. It's always good to have a stock before Christmas.

Pens are beauties Barry. Does that birdseye maple one in the second picture have burn lines? If so that really accents that pen. Great idea.

Yep, those are burn lines. Next door neighbor plays guitar, so I got a few strings from him.

Thanks for the compliments guys, greatly appreciated! Oh yeah, and the woods were "my choice".

Looking good Barry!!

But heck, winter is only a few weeks away for you up there in Alaska, so why not think about Christmas presents :D:D:D

Awesome Barry! Great looking pens. You will like the cigar kits. Been knocking off some Christmas gifts myself. In fact I sold a pen and pencil set yesterday for $50.00. A gal bought them for a Christmas gift to her dad.
