oak

Made this for s friend with a special piece of his own cross cut oak it had a burr in it that as I turned it voids suddenly appeared that needed filling took a little longer to make the pen but worth it

The most generous Phil Somebody gave a free chrome Etesia kit recently.....here's mine. Bog Oak segmented and with aluminium dividing it from some acrylic stuff.

I made up a Mattese fountain pen dressed it in Spalted Apple wasn’t sure about this kit but am now well pleased with it and two Managers pens one in burr Elm and one in Brown Oak

Just finished this pen took a while the blank had a lot of voids in it that is quite common with Burr Oak that had to be filled

Another ladies this time in oak and gold.

A pair of Gold plated FP/RB Gent pens in French Oak wood with a bespoke Spalted beech wood box. This French Oak is lighter in colour than the English Oak I turned. Less figuring as well, grain doesn't show up quite as well. Spalted Beechwood speaks for its self I think.:whistling:

A couple of Omega rollerballs for the couple who gave me the wood. It was grown from an acorn from a Lucombe Oak, on Lucombe Avenue, in the Retirement village Hartrigg Oaks In York.

Well always late to the party, here is my go at a headwind. First thing you will notice is that It is not a fountain pen :goesred: the blank sort of exploded on the lathe, strange as I still had a couple of mm left. Nice bit of purple heart gone to wood heaven :pray::pray::pray: Nice bit of...

Following silver commenting on our native timbers and in particular his use of quarter sawn oak. also Bill Mooney 's cross cut oak pen, I thought that I would show a recent Omega dressed mostly in Elm burr .

Well I had a really nice surprise drop on the door mat today. A Bill Mooney special cross cut Oak slimline pen. What a stunner it is, finish and fit is excellent and shape is spot on. Uploaded a video as a picture just wouldn't have done it the justice it deserves. Thanks Bill Mooney Its...
