Simply gorgeous!!!

Skip, I just realized that the Classic Black has a Heritance Nib!! I am definately one LUCKY fellow. I'll be putting in an order for some ink worthy of your creation. I definately feel like a kid at Christmas.

[Skiprat]

LOL Phil    You didn't think I'd give you a crappy nib did you!!!!!  But yes, you ARE lucky.  When I met Lou a while ago, he gave me a whole herd of goodies and they only get used for very special occasions

If Skippy puts in a crappy nib, he has to go back to work in Scotland for a fortnight.

Hey Lou,
Looks like I'm going to be in Va some time next week. Are you anywhere near Hopewell?

Thats not punishment, he'll enjoy Scotland too much, send him to the middle of a big city somewhere.

Hey Lou,

I'm about 1-1/2 hours north.  Drop me a note if you are going to have some time.

Will Do, but I'm not sure If I'll have much time. I've got a crazy week ahead.

Not 1 but 2 arrived yesterday from the Mull.  Thanks so much Andy.  They are wonderful examples of fine craftsmanship and I will treasure them in my collection.  My first internationals.  Love the touch of plaid in the boxes.

Am I LUCKY or what??

Mr Postman brought my package from Leap ( Philip ) and check out what I found inside!!!!

First is a cool Sierra with what I think is Corian, but I'm not sure. My wife said 'Oooh!!....can I have that one?' I may be able to get some special 'mileage' out of this. Second is really beautiful Jr Statesman in a classic acrylic. AND it's closed ended!!!  I wish I could remember the name of this acrylic, but if I'm not mistaken it is a highly sought after Italian style.

Phil, many many thanks!!! Looks like I'm gonna have to add another page to my site

Ooo .. no.  I recognize that material. That's soapstone!
Real stone from a quarry.. not synthetic.

I know Phil was having some trouble working it, but it came out GREAT!

  I wish I could remember the name of this acrylic, but if I'm not mistaken it is a highly sought after Italian style.

The acrylic is one of Mazzuccelli's from Italy, it some was sold on the IAP a while back, called Serpentine.

Very nice pens you have now got there Steven. The soapstone look really nice.

Well, I received by absolutely stunning pen from the swap, made from some very rare 'Huanghuali'   Thanks Roy, your work is flawless, I will cherish it!!

Hey Skip,
Glad you like them. Charlie and Andy are correct on the materials. Charlie should know about the soap stone as he gave me a box of the stuff. It is a bear to turn and wore out a carbide cutter in no time. I was trying to do a second closed end with the soap stone but ran out of time.

Yahoo!!!!!!  Postman has just been again

This is one of the famous 'Crack Eggs' puzzles from Chinny Exquisitely made and extremely clever in it's operation. I won't reveal how it operates, but let me tell you that is very clever

Many thanks Stephen, I love it!!!
