I don't see why not, it's closed end, I must make a ball scratcher myself

Jim has kindly agreed to allow me to run a competition for a closed end pen, I think it is great as he normally runs the comps and never gets to enter so now he can. I have decided that because the Omega is imminent I will wait until after it has landed and let Dan have his day in the spotlight with his magnificent creation as I am sure there will be an Omega-fest and it will be great to see all the different shapes and sizes everyone comes up with. How about an Omega competition Dan?

Excellent tutorial Peter
I think I have seen something similar before but that was American

Probably by skiprat aka Steven Jackson on IAP

Peter

That's a first, not sure Steven will like being called American, especially as he is in a skip in Wales..

Excellent tut Peter...

Omega competition sounds brilliant to me. I will put up £50 voucher for the shop.

Dan that is fantastic, do you want to set the £50 as a winner takes all or say £25 for 1st, £15 for 2nd and £10 for 3rd place? Do you want to choose the winning pens or have the normal voting system that Jim uses for the competitions where everyone has 1 vote. It's your competition so think about it?

It's exciting to start the birth of a new pen with a competition, I can't wait to see the various pens made

Let the masses decide Peter. £25, £15, £10 sounds good to me. All I ask is that people spread the word about the kits to the clubs they attend and fellow turners.
