Retirement gift.
« on: June 15, 2008, 08:56:59 AM »
Just thought I would share a pen/pencil set I made for my BIL's brother for a retirement gift. He got a Thuya Byrl pencil & an Amboyna pen.  ;D Ray has arthritis & these pens have a really big soft rubber grip on them that makes them easier to use. I also gave one to Vernon & Ray's Mom 2 weeks ago & she told me yesterday it makes writing much easier with her parkinsons & her arthritis.  ;D

Amboyna Burl pen.


Thuya Burl pencil


An artists sketch pencil with 1/4" lead & purple Maple Burl. This is a gift for the cool guy making my website.  ;D
