Hi,
just been lurking lately as i ended up very busy that i'm not complaining about.
Chrome Lucida in Cellulose Acetate

This one is an America n stainless steel rollerball the name i can't remember as i am typing but is becoming a firm favourite with me, In red Deer Antler.

Last is a bolt action again in Antler

If anyone hasn't turned Antler its easy enough but i found the easiest way to avoid drilling problems was after cutting to length. If the Antler is a little curved was to turn it between centres, so it becomes easier and more accurate in the drill vice.
It just meant i could use thinner bits. I had too as this has been a really big seller in various kits.

Thanks for the comments much appreciated.
Bob, it was very nice to meet you the other day as well, i might have more timber for you as i can't take it all apparently !
Jim, it sometimes smells a bit, but is nice to turn.
Vic i promise to return the Amethyst shortly.
Paul i am liking the stainless kits more and more and they must be popular as i need some more and i think they are on a 5 week back order.
