Looks pretty nice Neil, especially for a first effort. That's one of
my favorite pens to make. Are you going to start selling or are you
making these to use and gift?

Good question. I think like most woodworkers/woodturners, I would love
to get a littel back on the investment, nut, i probably never will. I
olan to use a few, gift a few more and sell about the same through
people seeing them at work or at the campgrounds we frequest. That is
how most of my sales of my woodworking are sold.

I am presently the only UNIX engineer with a large power company and
my one way commute is 1.5 to 2 hours, so I don't do a lot during the
week. I plan to retire in 7 years and then I will see where I am at
with turning and my woodworking/carving. Maybe it will make a nice 3rd
career.

Unless, anyone has a great idea on how to market this sutff :-)

Thanks for the encouragment.
