Attention Penturners (and those who want to be!). After speaking with @ripjack13 I agreed to organize and run the summer pen swap. It has been awhile since we had one so let's have some fun.

A few ground rules:
  1. Your pen blank must have some wood in it
  2. Can be any kit you choose except slim lines. (Modified slim lines are acceptable)
  3. Indicate in this thread if you are in, pairings will be randomly drawn on July 10th.
  4. You must have your pen complete and mailed out by July 31st.
  5. You must include two (2) pen blanks in your package (@Don Ratcliff must include curly koa).
  6. Upon receiving your pen you must share a photo of what you receive.
Jeers and cheers are welcomed and expected. Who's in? Let the madness begin!

***EDITED IN LIST***

You got time to turn a pen, need to turn a few for the big show anyhow. We gotta do you like they did that Italian in that movie they named after me, and root you on? :taunt:

Tony... Tony... Tony... Tony... Tony... Tony... Tony... Tony... Tony...
 
Ummm. Lets see... Todays July 1st & July 10th is sign up deadline... Got to be mailed by July 31,2017... So I'd get it by my birthday on Aug. 3rd...
OK, so I got time to think :ponder: about if I want to make someone's year by participating & trading one of my priceless awesome pens for their could be/maybe priceless pens that I'll use & cherish till the end of my time.
Mmm:headscratch2:
That might just work! :popcorn:

I'm in.
I am pretty new to this.
So a question I have is around 2 blanks, we would include 2 pen blanks?
Would they be any blanks?

Thank you

Yes, 2 blanks. They should be of good quality. Something that you would like to receive or buy is a good comparison.
The pen should also be a quality pen. I like to see your best effort here.
 
Also, if you ship em in a flat rate box, you may include more blanks if you so desire. I hate shipping air, and I have plenty of blanks, so I like to share the wealth and make my fellow pen makers happy...
