Partners and Pen Photos - 2011 SMC Pen Exchange

[James Combs]

Attention all Pen Turners here is the listing showing your partner.

Rather then doing a random drawing and since there is an even number I just cut the last 22 names and pasted them beside the first 22 and presto we have team mates. Having the originals in alphabetical order by first name should randomize the assignments as much as anything else.

(BTW The team numbers do not mean anything they just helped me organize the posting.)

BE SURE to post in this thread photos of the pen that you received plus photos of any accessory items that may have came with it.

If I can get a moderator to un-stick the original thread (possibly putting it in the master) and stick this thread in it's place until sometime after the 1st of September, It would be appreciated. It will simplify finding it by participants.

REMEMBER a COMPLETION DATE of September 1, 2011 has been established. All pens should be turned, finished and shipped by 9/1/2011.

Team Partner-A - Partner-B


1 Alan Zenreich - Jim Slovik

Cool! Been waiting for this.

Can we get one of the moderators to make this a sticky so it will stay at the top, thanks

Bobby McCarley

or we can manually bump it to the top

[James Combs]

A bump until it is stuck. If we bump this thread against the ceiling enough perhaps it will stick there. lol

Edit: Hey look at that it worked. ;-) (Steve was sticking it just as I posted the bump) lol

[Peter Hay in Aus]

Morning James,

Grateful for the draw happenstance my mate Don and I are in constant touch via Skype and E Mail, are incredible friends who enjoy each others company immensely. Could not be more content with the draw and your efforts.

Kind Regards Peter.

OK, I'll go first. I received this great pen and goodies from Betty Fox. Sorry about the picture quality, they don't do the pen justice. Electra pen kit with Wenge.

OK folks, we now have first blood and even a little heart, way to Wenge it Betty. (I know, I know, terrible terrible puns but hey we got a start).

Oh, and Betty that looks like a really nice pen. Looks like John has made a great score.

If anyone else out there is ready to post let's get em done.

[David Warkentin]

Sending mine to Mike Svoma tomorrow. I'll let him take pics.

[Mike Svoma]

Mine should be on the way to David by the weekend.

[Mike Svoma]

This is the pen received, for the pen exchange, from David Warkentin last night. Nice Cigar wrapped in a burl cap/acrylic blank. He also sent some additional goodies as packing material. Thanks David.

[David Warkentin]

Glad it made it there, Mike. Aspen burl with acrylic. And for you folks that are on IAP this may come as a surprise. That blank was given to me by none other than RON ADAMS!!

[Mike Svoma]

This pen exchange shows how small the world is that we live in......David sent me a cherry burl blank from Barron, WI. This town is only 30 miles north of where I live and David is alll the way down in Alabama. Cool.

[John Merc]

Thanks Andrew Arndts. Received a great looking Bocote Cigar this weekend. Sorry for the bad pictures...they do not do the pen justice!!!

[Jim Burr]

Some Beautiful stuff!!! I'm thinking of hiding after mine it's mailed! Some great pen "Art" guys!!
