blank

My first attempt at a Sirocco and using a blank supplied by Paul from Pen Blanks and Moulds, really happy how it turned and still have half a blank left bonus!! This one has already been gifted as part of a wedding present.

Quite pleased with the outcome

This is one I finished this weekend - Gold Mistral Fountain with a blue "Diamond Cast" blank from Tim McKenzie. (Tim is just getting his business off the ground - blanks will be available for purchase next week.) The photos do not reflect the diamond dust which is cast in the blank and...

My First attempt at this sort of pen. Gradually expanding my horizons. I used a lovely blank of spalted beech and The Cassic Elite Fountain Pen Kit. I had to turn off 1/8" from the top blank. I fond I didn't have a parting tool small enough to do this job. A quick hunt around my carving tools...
