re: Hawkeye Pens

Pottzy- I have my "collection" of pens I think is cool for one reason or another....but there are 65 of them....so I'll pick and choose a few and post them.  I have to set up the studio soon for my little ebay business, so I can do it then....thanks for asking...and oh, there are even some wooden ones in there!

Ron-Thank you!  I copied a design of a therm-cup my wife has...or....I was told to!

Steve- A Cyclone huh!  I am also a Cyclone fan, except for two days a year ( Basketball and Football)

Splint- I used to sell them at a Gallery in CO.  I didn't want to but kind of got trapped into it...I made twice as many then....but they went out of business and I was ok with that.

Ryan-It is a lot of pens.  I have three lathes and I am constantly working on a batch of pens.  I do 20-25 at a time.  So when I'm doing flat work, if something is drying, or I am thinking through a problem, or I am pi$$ed off for doing something stupid, I just jump in and work on some pens.  I have done it so many times, it is therapeutic.  In fact, I'm working on a chess board for a friend and it is drying, so I was working on a batch up until I sat down at the computer.

Petey- Thanks--We know  lot of folks that go down there (somewhere in the area) in the winter, but not for an extended stay.  My friend the Sheriff is going to retire after this next election and is looking at a condo or apartment on Sanibel.  I told him now is the time!!!!  After everything is all fixed the prices will peak.  And as you know Sanibel real estate is pricey!
