ok here are my swap items that went to my recipient earl.ill try to remember what i did,cant be worse than losing the letter describing the details from my sender keebler.
#1 is the four items i made an awl,6 in 1 screwdriver, a large combo shop pencil/pen and a key chain with screwdriver bits inside.
#2 just showing the items with accessories.
#3 the awl is made from kingwood made from a kit i got from wood world of texas,finished with mylands friction polish on the lathe.
#4 the 6 in 1 screwdriver is made from cocobolo finished also with friction polish on the lathe.coco polishes very easliy,even without a finish.
#5 this is a large sketch pencil with a pen insert.wood is zircote finished on the lathe.these make great rough sketch pencils for woodworking.ive got a couple including the one i got from keebler.
#6 is a kit i got from penn state.it'sey chain with 4 different screwdriver,awl type insets.made from buckeye burl. i may make more this year as holiday gifts.
this was a fun swap with a bunch of guys that are as good as it gets.i highly recommend if youve never done a swap try one,i gaurantee you'll have a blast meet great people and get some amazing things

Those are too good for workshops... maybe for office use... not criticism, but for an office, a letter openner instead of the scribe would have nailed it.
I had a couple of those pen/cils in my workshop but kept loosing them amongst the timber... still finding "new" old ones occasionally. Have gone a la Moke and surrendered to my acrylic side as it is hard to get red, in timber without a generous amount of bloodshed.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
