Pens for the Troops - 2nd mailing

[clowman]

At the Klingspor show, we turned pens, we talked, we joked... Steve threatened me with a roughing gouge.... :rolf:. At the end of the day we all had a great time, and came away with some nice pens. I received another mailing today, and was waiting on this before I posted this picture. This is the 2nd mailing of pens, my shipping department (aka the LOML) will be sending these out tomorrow. Unless my count is wrong, I see 43 more pens to ship out. That is 112 pens total. I think this project has been a very good success, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you all, I am sure these pens will be well received.

Without further babbling from me.. here is the final picture....

Wow, those are some good looking pens. Thanks to everyone who turned them, we've made quite an effort and I am sure that every pen will be appreciated.

WOW it's great you all support our troops. They really need it, expecially in light of the political comment made today.

Thank you for supporting our troops :icon_thum

I am so proud to be part of a group who so enthusiastically rallied behind this project. Thanks to everyone who turned pens, volunteered blanks, kits, or assistance in shipping, and to Clay for organizing the whole process. Great job!:eusa_clap

Awesome!!! That's a great collection of pens, and I know we had a great time doing it (at least at the show). I know several people got their start in pen turning as a result of this program. Thanks to all who provided blanks for this event - we had plenty to go around, and it was fun experimenting with all those different types of wood.
