Here are todays efforts dark coloured blank from Pen Moulds and Blanks and the yellow blank from else where but I can't remember.

Only difference with these after sanding with micro mesh to 12000 I applied a coat of Microcrystalline wax, then buffed with a soft cloth.

Might be penkitsandbitz or Snainton Woodworking. But couldn't guarantee either all I know is it was quite a brittle one to turn as it chipped :sob: ever so slightly but at least the clip covered it.

Thank You Phil, I must of got that with one of my orders with you!!
but least it's solved the mystery!! Really should keep better records but explains why it was a bit more brittle and has a better shine!!

Graham your unorthodox pics clearly show two beautiful pens. All that work in finishing paid off. I find this kit difficult to design a pen with as it is so slim,your restrained shaping suits them both. To me a new way of showing that works.

Peter,
