Swap photos????

[Skiprat]

Ok, here's my thinking.

To try and attract more entries into the swap, maybe we could post pics of what we are going to send to our partners?
Of course it may spoil the surprise for the recipient, or you may be waiting to find out who your partner will be, so you can find out what you each want.? Dunno, just thinking aloud.

What say ye???

I'll start the ball rolling Steven.  Here are the two pens that I will be using in my Pen for a Pen swap and my Pen for a Puzzle swap.  I thought these two would be appropriate as they are both inspired by Eagle's famous Eagle Feathers design.  If either of my two swap partners want another pen or design I'd be happy to make them a different pen.

That assumes we're finished...heck, I'm barely started!  I'll post photos when the pens are ready!

[Skiprat]

Keith, you have to be kidding right?? Do you really think that ANYONE will NOT be more than happy to get either of those?
I think both are superb, but the black one just blows me away!!! I love it

I have a few likely candidates for my swaps but I'm undecided still. I'll choose tonight and post the pics a bit later.
I've already posted a pic of the puzzle, but I'll move that over here later too, just so we can keep them all together.

[Skiprat]

Ok, here are my offerings.
The Puzzle for a Puzzle
The Steel Pen for a Pen

Either the Black Feathered pen OR the Prairie Rattle Snake OR the Red-white-blue pen for a puzzle.
My partner can choose.

OK, now we're talking !!!!!   

Folks, Bruce is becoming a legend with his solid cast silver pen trim. You will never get this chance again, that's for sure!!!!

[Oklahoman]

Just a hint of what I will be swapping. This wood is from a chair from the Late Ming or early Qing Dynasty,I just haven't made up my mind on the
pen as of yet thats why two pieces of the chair ???If a closed end the top one if not the bottom one, both have fantastic figure.

[Canuck]

Folks this wood doesn't get any better than that   Unbelievably RARE   THANK YOU ROY!!!

[NewLondon88]

I've put this one aside to send.
I'm still a pen newbie, but I thought it came out pretty nice.

[Trooper]

"Pretty nice - Pretty nice!!!!"  I think someone is being a tad modest here.  Again, I am a puzzlenut not a pen guy but that one looks pretty bloody good to me.  Nice work NewLondon88.
