    Cracks appearing in Brown Mallee Burr pen

    I turned a Leveche rollerball using a Brown Mallee Burr blank. I used epoxy to glue the blank to the tube and after bringing into the house for a couple of days cracks appeared along some of the burr lines. I finished it using Phil's melamine technique. Any advice to prevent this much...

    Brown Swirl

    This is a pen I recently made for myself out of CS brown swirl. It’s probably may favourite material so far. Originally it had no clip but yesterday I was doing a crossword with it in the garden and I had to pick up a few things to bring into the house. With my hands full I realised I’d need to...

    Brown mallee

    As promised Brown Mallee Burl as I only know it ,ie I have selectively bought over 40 yrs. In fact the larger Cue Stick piece and the other pen blank must be in the order of that old cut,well dried prior to this. I find it photographs shyly with a slight cast . However this is the (IMHO) the...

    Brown Oak

    I’ve not glued my fingers together with CA adhesive for far far too long or for that matter turned a pen so this evening I rectified both these things with some aluminium, black plastic, a piece of Brown Oak & copious amounts of CA glue.

    900 year old Royal brown oak

    Another pen with history in it. This time a 900 year old Royal brown oak wood, from a tree from the Great Windsor Park, London. This wood turned well and polished nice. In all, a pen that handles very in your hand, (well done on another well designed pen Phil). Thank again Lignaterrae. Kelvin

As usual, the amazing sparkle is almost completely lost in my photos, but holding it in bright natural light takes one's breath away This fountain pen features a gold #5 Bock nib and gold pocket clip (from...

    Learning curve

    First time really turning acrylic. Still learning. Don't like the clock pen, big chunk of brown at the end near clip but shows whitish instead of light brown in the picture. In my mind its a poor blank should be blue the full length, but who am I to judge. Glen:wink::wink:

    The joy of revealing beautiful grain

    A while back, I bought some Brazilian brown ebony blanks on eBay and got round to turning one of them yesterday. The blank didn't look that interesting, but what gradually emerged was a gorgeously figured piece of wood in lustrous shades ranging from gold to chocolate. The blank now adorns a...
