A couple of pens that I've just turned and put together. Both are from that nice range of polyester blanks that Paul at Pen Blanks and Moulds has recently put up on his site. They need to be turned with care but they do finish really nicely.

First a 'Pearl Swirl' on a gold and gunmetal Sirocco and the second on a a chrome Omega Fountain Pen.

Those are rather nice. I have just bought a couple of blanks from Paul myself but have not had the chance to do anything with them yet. Must give them a go prompted by these.

Very nice Tony thanks for sharing.
Yeh with them being Polyester as you say “They need to be turned with care but they do finish really nicely.”
We do also have quite a few Polurethane pen blanks which are more forgiving for less experienced turners, but with work & family life just not had time to put them up on the website yet, hopefully get them added in the next few days.
