Very nice! I like the grey/blue combo.

Beautiful pens Shawn. Wish I had been the winner. Maybe next time around.

I keep hoping.

I spent a few hours last weekend looking over all the options available on Shawn's website, just in case....

That is a really pretty pen that Orville picked out.

Thanks!

Orville is the model though, not the name of the winner.

Oh, man, if I won a pen that pretty, I'd let you call me Orville or just about anything else you wanted to!

 

Oh, wait... I did win a pen that pretty.

 

Now for the agonizing wait by the mailbox...

 

For those that don't already know, not only is Shawn an amazing craftsman, he's got the patience of a saint. I fear I got a bit, well, my wife would say "obsessed" is too mild a term, with my original design. When the material I wanted proved unworkable, I did pretty complete change of course to this pen. Through it all, Shawn was kind and gracious. And the end result...

 

So, to Shawn: a big public "Thank you!" And to everyone else, "Support the scholarship fund!"

 

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have less that a week to decide what to ink this work of art with first.

That's about the best thanks I could ever ask for. Thank you. And yes please do support the scholarship! I'll get another raffle going in about a week.
