Just an update to the Rhondda Tunnel Society pens, that I started to make for them. To date, 55 pens made and posted to the members of the society, all made with the teak rail track keys from the tunnel. They are selling well, with half of the cost of each pen donated to the Rhondda Tunnel fund...

Hi all, two more completed, both requested orders One Spalted Beech cut on an angle, the other London plane.

Pen No 4 this year. I received this pen blank in a swap on the PNPTA forum. It was plain pink on the outside and pink not being my favourite colour it spent a lot of years floating around in my blank storage. When I turned it, I was pleasantly surprised. Unfortunately I cant find the off cut to...

A custom order, I did one a while ago and just after it sold another customer came to purchase the same. So I was asked to make another.... Where did I get that blank?? Long story short, a quick order to Penn state industries, but don't only buy 1 blank 3 will give me a spare for co?k ups and 1...

Pen No 3 for this year, I made it for some one’s birthday. It didn’t come out as bright as pink as I would like it to, I painted inside the blank white, I wonder if it would have better to paint it black? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had this Spalted Cherry sitting around teasing me for a few years now. Far to punky to use as it was, but at last I got set up to stabilise it. I am rather pleased with the results and have plenty more to play with. And it helped me relax for 20 mins this afternoon before a busy weekend kicks off.

Hi all,another Etesia,this time in Olive.C&C's welcome.I really like this kit,having quite large mitts I find it a little on the short side.Absolutely fine for those with smaller hands.I have another couple to make up,I am going to work on a mod to make them 15-20mm longer.Will post them when...

A few weeks back Terry Q posted some stabilised spalted maple for sale on here so I gave to a go and it arrived a couple of days ago. Its really lovely stuff and I wish I had asked for more. Anyway thanks Terry, and here is what I made with it. Cheers Ash

OK, so this may be stretching the boundaries of the May challenge but if I hadn't recovered the blank it would have no doubt hit the bin....:whistling: Burr Elm with Ali inlay, complete with Beech wood box with Ali inlay....

Hi guys, this one was a request from a close friend who is a nurse, she heard of another commission I was doing with a heart rhythm pen and asked for one in Ivory Mother of Pearl. She'll be showing this off to her doctor friends and pointing them to my Esty I hope :-) Cheers Dougie

Hi guys, this was a commission for someone who wanted a heart rhythm engraved on a pen for her son who has a heart condition. I sent the centre bands off to someone in the US to engrave the heart rhythms for me. Phil told me about Redheart wood which I'd never heard of before but it worked...

Our beloved Phil kept posting tempting delights last week and among the temptations was some lovely walnut blanks... So here's my offering of Phils walnut on a Levech.... Its also my April challenge pen, being a stopped end...

Yes a second pen out of my workshop this year OK OK turned by my great granddaughter again this is for her dads birthday next week. A Cigar pen from my stock and a spalted blank not 100% sure what wood though. She did a great job including finishing with melamine lacquer which she said was the...
