    3 people come to my mind for an interview; Leo Van Der Loo, Jeff Nicol, and Reed Gray. All of these guys have been a real asset to this hobby/profession/addiction.

    It's just so you get the pen's top and bottom parts aligned correctly with the grain. (Put the lined pieces together on the pen mandrel, after you saw them in two)

    Edit: Oh yeah!! I'd love to read an interview with Jim Shaver. Nicest pens in Canada!!

    Wow, thanks Charlie. I appreciate your thinking of me, but I'm really not very interesting (yawn). Has Neal Addy been interviewed yet? He's a multi-talented fellow with an excellent and very helpful website.

    Neal, I am pretty sure, was interviewed several years ago.

    Neal is an extremely talented and helpful turner!

    Here's Neal's interview: http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=62960

    I'd like to see both Leo Van Der Loo and Jeff Nicol intervied. They both always seem like they have a lot to offer on here.

    I have to say John Keeton. Good work, good personality and what I really noticed was very personable. In some ways I hate to mention somebody because everybody I have come in contact with on here is very nice, very helpful and I wished I could work with most because I am sure it would be a learning experience...

    I will quit rambling now...lol

    I am blushing!

    Thanks to all who have thrown my name into the hat! I always have lots to say and enjoy all of the questions from everyone!

    I will toss my vote to Leo also, we don't always see eye to eye, but the man has seen more of life than I have and I believe he has lots of great stories to tell. It looks like he has a great shop and lots of toys, errrr....TOOLS!!!

    Thanks again,

    Jeff
