Been concentrating on making pen blanks for weeks and not having any fun turning. Took a break yesterday and made these. The first is Red Heart and Maple. Number 2 is Maple Crotch. 3 is a blank I have had laying around for ages because I couldn't make up my mine where to use it. Cut in half and went for 2.

These are the rest of the batch. These are actually the first fountain pens I have made. Birdseye Maple and Mahogany and Cocobolo and Maple.

these bullets are marmite for many

I could make these all day long and not keep up with demand

I dont make pens for sale so i shy away from getting too many in stock

fantastic finish

Terry I have been in luck today I believe most fortunate just as I was signing off to join in the madding rush at ours you presented so many master pieces mate that together make unsurpassed impressions with me your technique is flawless that finish as a mirror I agee with busting up that acrylic over the topp colour thanks for using that kit it needs a kick up the bum occassionally IMHO to get the real attention it deserves drooled all over the desk looking at the complete packages the fit at the joins immaculate, smooth as complete harmony.

Seems I forgot my manners thank you for these pens today and anytime these hit the spot reserved as Special Reserve quality mate.
