Loving how this Ares has come out. Wenge turned to shape and sanded, then used a wire brush to open the grain. Sprayed with white paint and then sanded again before adding melamine finish.

Hi all Had some Elm left so made a Sierra out of it. Figure is not outstanding but I think it turned (no pun intended) out reasonably well. [ ATTACH]37951[/ATTACH] Cheers Frederick

A gold and gunmetal Sirocco. Blank from Bammer.

Amboyn Clicker Gold Kit

This is the one I've been working on this week. Doesn't look like most of a work week to you? The pen only took about six hours. The metal work took about three days. (In all fairness, that time includes making a couple of the parts twice because sometimes I do foolish things. The learning...

Hi all.....my completed trio

Hi all Another Burr Elm but this time I tried to lighten the wood slightly so the figure better. The wallet is empty though except for the bus pass. I am going to try some Burr Oak next week, see how that comes out. Burr is very appropriate as it's freezing in the workshop. Cheers etc, Frederick

Hi all..... Day two.....pen two This one in antique gold jnr George

Every now and again I get to cut across the grain with this timber. Every piece I have is eaten down the centre by Termites. Way back it became a very favourite timber to seek out and use. Happy with this one. Peter.:thumbs:

Hi all, well first one out the bag...lucky dip style, was this one..... This is done with a jnr George kit in antique silver...the others will be antique gold:winking:

Dip Pen in Brazilian Rosewood with an Elm Stand

This is one of the new (class that as trial) blanks. Pearlescent White with Silver Glitter and the Black Lines I created. A Silver Zepher Pen Lines are little on the thick side but as a first attempt I am very pleased with it :thumbs:

Hi all, I managed to finish this beauty earlier.....the blank is one of Bammers specials.....they turn really easy and polish well with Farcla polish

When I started turning a colleague of mine said he liked one of my pens, so I made him a couple. He is a very religious soul and does some amazing work with the less fortunate. He is a street Pastor most nights, making sure the homeless are safe. He puts up with so much abuse but still he...

I am new to this forum and new to pen making. I have completed these in the last week. I have made the polymer clay canes myself except for the pink one which I have decorated with nail art poly slices. My hubby has bought me a mini lathe as an early Christmas present:love_it: So I have...

Princess kit in white - black acrylic

Burled and beautiful timber in this form and others. Peter.

I cast a couple of blanks last night which I made extra chunky. Reason being I could have another go at a Jr Gentleman's fountain pen and have plenty of resin to drill out those big tube holes. Here's the result. I have to admit the photo's don't do the blank any justice but then I am a...
