Blog is such an ugly word...

Bloooog. Blog. Blooog. Such a gross sounding word. I've fought it for too long. I've decided I have too much to say and show concerning the art of pen making (and other misc wood projects) that I need to start a new blog and keep track of my thoughts and progress here. Mostly it will be new ideas, experiments, and a place to show off (and maybe sell) some of my handiwork. The main idea here is to keep record of all my goings on, but if someone else out there in the world can benefit from it somehow its a win-win. Oh, and on the topic of default templates; I know this one sucks but I plan to update it time permitting....

This weekend I have a couple pens lined up. One is a new kit that is fairly pricey that will be my first try at inlays... I will post pictures and a small write-up once finished, assuming I don't blow it up. My second pen is an absolutely gorgeous sampling of Amboyna (a wood from southeast Asia that is quite unique) that I have been holding onto for about 6 months trying to decide what to make with it. That one should turn out either way so I should end up with at least one pen to show off from the weekend. I have dozens of pens I've made/sold in the past that I might sprinkle in as filler on those days where I don't have anything particularly good to add.
