G'day all well this is my first post here so be gentle. This is Sierra Stylus dressed out in a piece of Sugilite Truestone. Sanded through to 12000 MM and then a four stage buff off the lathe. Comments welcome

Cheers
Darren

Erm after my comments on your other pen I think it prudent to hush my mouth n this one.
Only to say sorry Not my cup of tea and welcome to our very friendly forum.
Well they haven't kicked me out yet but I am sure testing the water.

Clumsy Sod not all people are my cup of tea either so you either ignore them or put up with them.
Exactly the same with comments here. The product I have used is called Trustone not True Stone
as you call it. As for the Rhodinite Trustone it was for a customer that happens to also be my sister
and yes the finger nails do match the pen. The Sugilite Truestone is for my second youngest, Jessy
who is at university. As for the back ground mate, you ain't seen nothing yet. I hope they don't kick
you out of here because I think you are going to be fun. As for your comments I have taken them on
board and have been filed appropriately. Guys thanks for the kind words and hope to see some great
pens and participate in some good discussions.

Probably not actually there are some real old farts on these forums I visit, I am a mere 61 years of age.
I get fed up with calling people Sir And Ma'am and still use it with my so called superiors, I tend to use the young man / lady when being more social.
Just one of my many foibles, as for my work, most of what I have done is plastered all around the forums here.

I am new to penturning and relatively new to wood lathe work but have so far enjoyed what I have done, apart from the fiddly segmenting, poke that where the sun don't shine.
I am a disaster area with ca glue in fact just before typing this I had to peel the keyboard from my fingers.

Anyway Blah Blah Rabbit things to do, see ya later.
