    Hex Amber

    Hi all I’ve been away from here for a little while, but thought I’d share my latest offering(s). I bit the bullet and finally acquired a vertical mill recently and, after a little bit of prototyping, came up with a hexagonal pen that I’m happy with. For those interested I achieved the shape...
