These are some of the streamline pens I'm making from acetate pen rods from Vince's retro range at The Turners Workshop. I have enough to make six in the green & seven in the blue.

lovely looking pens Bill love the little flair out at the bottom:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs: whats acetate like to turn, is it harder than acrylic :thinks:
Peter the acetate is easy to turn but if you get too much het when working it can melt.
Luckily mine were pre-drilled but had to be careful sanding, one started to melt & had to do a rescue. I'll re-turn it tomorrow & see how it goes.
