    I love Thursday mornings! It's the back story that makes these pens so special and so different from the everyday, mass-produced stuff. Even though you made a series of them there was a reason for each one. A Celtic cross pen is definitely on my to do list.
    See you Saturday.

      @WoodenItBeNice  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks Myk, I was very honoured to be asked to make the 1st pen for Gav's late Father's friend and then I had to make one each for Gav & Mel.
      Looking forward to seeing you Saturday Myk.
      I'll have 2 pieces for you to choose from.
      Take care mate.
