So first time I've tried making a matched pair, currently a pen and pencil but I don't actually like the way the pencil works as a twist mechanism, it appears better suited to a click style pen so I may end up with two pens :thinks: Padster

A few slimlines dressed in xcut Oak, all pff the same piece of timber. Finished in melamine & microcrystalline wax.

Finished with Yorkshire Grit Microfine

Pen I cast & turned for my wife, seeing it’s our Silver Wedding Anniversary today ???

So my daughters 18th is at the end of the month and she choose a design, she's not seen this and I'm sure she doesn't follow the forum! I made her a solitaire board for Christmas from a piece of teak she chose at Yandles on our way back from hols and there was some left so here's her pen...

Another pen made from vintage cellulose. This one has a number 5 Bock nib as the material was a little on the slim side and I couldn’t get a cap out if it that would be big enough to take a no6. Cheers Ash

Simple long clicker made with Oak from Durham Cathedral. with its "own box" flexi :funny: Melamine finish. As usual, all C&C welcome.

Bolt Action in a Yunstone blank.

Paw pen kit with pink crush acrylic blank Padster this one is similar to the one you posted.

First time doing one of these kits. What a chunker it is, will I do it again. :idontknow: Yew finished with melamine lacquer.

Blue carbon Fiber on Sierra. Did this back in May this year. I have more time to convert and post on here so you may be getting bored with them shortly. :goesred: recovery and being pinged is giving me a little more time. :rolling:

English Oak, finished with melamine lacquer. Box is English 1/4 sawn Oak Edit-added two other photos of the outside of the box.

Knurl GT dressed with segmented Beech, Mahogany and ebony veneers.

I have mentioned a few times about the challenge of using slim stock, namely vintage cellulose tubes that are very narrow and pre-drilled. In order to use this material for the barrel, section and the cap I went down the route of making a pen where the cap screws onto the end of the section...

I know I already posted the Burr but I made another today and thought they looked good together..... Sorry for spamming :goesred: Padster

Hi pen people. A bit of a one-off this, and I’ll keep this pen. As I continue working on a design to make the most of the thin vintage cellulose I have, I decided to make a pen with a sleeved wooden section. In other words the internals of the section are ebonite (in this case) and the outside...

I was gifted a small piece of burr oak... SO set about finding the right kit and think this works... Padster

So this is my first attempt at a pen using a blank created from off-cuts in my workshop. Various woods layered and glued could be better but happy for a first attempt. Padster

I cut some blanks from some extremely dry Yew recently and found it to be very splintery and full of cracks. Here's one that just about stayed in one piece on an Omega kit. Alan

I'm sure you guys must be fed up of me spamming you with my pens....but anyway :wink: Here is my latest effort - and finally no visible blemishes on the Acrylic!!! Padster
