Christmas Eve 2011

Corey, Tracy and Miranda came up for Christmas Supper and the exchange of gifts at our house on Christmas Eve again this year. Since John normally has the camera in his hands he took some pictures for our photo albums. He had the tripod ready but forgot to get a shot of the entire group at once. (Maybe next time?)

John’s Wooden Pens #1

I had a couple requests from people to see some of the pens I’ve made over the last several months. This is most of what I’ve done so far. I would guess there should be over 40 different types of wood.
