Although I was a bit nervous at first with this blank I was a pleasure to see it developing in front of my eyes. Dressed in a Sedona it should have been a fountain pen but I didn't have a gold one from Timberbits which I'd drilled the blank for. I have other Sedona's from the UK and they're different sizes including the threads so couldn't interchange it. I'll get some from TB and it'll become an interchangeable pen.

Yum! That is delicious, mate! Well done! I found the trustone blunted my chisel very quickly - was that your experience?

I was expecting it to David, having used various metals and stones but was pleasantly suprised and found it somewhere in between acrylic and stone to turn and all in all a pleasant experience.
