It’s just a bit after 9pm, so time to pick a winner using random.org, 1-59, and the winner is…

drum roll, please….

#9!  Nine is the winner of a free custom pen!  I don’t have the list of names in front of me so I have no idea who it is, but congratulations to number nine!  🙂

And thanks so much to everybody who contributed to the fund – it’s now over $2000 – exact numbers later.

There’s still lots of time between now and May to raise more money for the kids.

Thanks!

Shawn

Well the first set of post cards is nearly out, so I’ve ordered a second set.  School has just started so there’s not a lot for me to pick from, but I think I have some nice images chosen.

I’ve picked four new images from the end of last year and a couple from this year, and have reused one from the first set of cards.  These should be in my hands in about a week.

Thanks to everybody who has supported the scholarship.  To continue to support the scholarship, and help get some kids into college, read about the current for September here.

Colton just sent a photo to me the other day showing his pen on the first day of college!

He picked a large size Majestic in Bob’s Seven Seas resin.  Enjoy your pen, Colton!

 

Hi Everybody,

I just received the video from the 2014 graduation where I gave away two scholarships to two kids at Mountain Pine.  No matter what work comes out of my shop none of it will make me as proud as being able to help deserving students with college.  I wouldn’t be able to do any of this without all of you who have donated and contributed money and time, and from the bottom of my heart, I want to say thank you.

 

All videos here.

First I want to thank everybody who participated in this month’s fund raising.  We raised $263!

That brings the total to 1712!

Using Random.org and entering 1-36, #6 got it this time!

Congrats to Mike G.!

Wahoo!!

Now he has the daunting task of picking out his pen.  🙂

Thanks everybody!!

Come back in September for another chance to win a pen and to help raise money for some deserving high school students.

It took me longer than I wanted to get to this, but better late than never, right?  🙂

 

It’s on!

Since I’m going to DC this weekend I thought I’d get a couple of different things put together to bring with me.  The USA pens of course, and then something that people have asked me about pretty much since I started making pens 2 1/2 years ago: a two nib pen!

There have been lots of two nib pens made.  Some with both nibs at one end, some with a nib on either end; that’s where mine will come in.

Here’s an Eastman  I made up tonight.

I think these would look best made from the Eastman, Majestic, or Townsend, and will be $100 extra.

Update: As I was typing this I was contacted about this pen – it’s already sold!  Thanks!  🙂  I’ll still have it at DC to show off.

Thanks!

I’ve made up two USA flag themed pens especially for the DC Pen Show next weekend!
