3 Zeta kits in kindling!

All three are in bowl blank offcuts that would have gone on the fire, before I became an inmate here!:devil:

That colouring is superb Neil. Having been a ludite for so long and wouldn't even look at staining wood I'm now a true convert especially where sycamore is involved.

Three lovely pens.

Having bowl blanks is a recourse I have tapped into for years when Richard Raffan used to bring bags of his offcuts to the club and dispose of them at a price, yours are unusual in that you can select those that have suitable grain for pens as well. Three very economic pens at that because one piece pens are frugal in fact three pens can be made from each of my recent blanks,thus profit v cost zooms.

Stained interest like stained glass enables great to emerge from ordinary you have proved that then your two "normal" are special blanks also. Neil three good examples mate.
