Do you sell them on though? if so its a business investment and totally legit! im just buying for myself and my family and have no excuse!
Who are you getting your castings from?

Confidence? Not at all! I fully intend to sit and stare at it them for a good long time before im brave enough to try these!
I ordered blue-rose-ladybugs_1_1.jpg to go on a Shakespeare Satin Rollerball.
I have another Shakespeare that I have a piece of red mallee burl for. That's my goal pen when I have the confidence in my turning i will make that for myself

Derek one of the first things i did when i joined was this forum was look through your photobucket! Wonderful wonderful things my friend! I have a new born nephew and would love to make some toys for him!

As for the expense I don't mind as long as I don't destroy the things I've bought which is always my concern as I'm still very much learning to turn and to be delicate

Thank you some of them are a little advanced for a very young child.

Since photobucket wanted so much I have not added anything to it for a long time More up to date is THIS

These are the actual blanks she made for me to put in my wife's Shakespeare. They are in the post so she may well be getting it for Christmas!
