Evening guys.

Latest pen off the lathe is a lovely gearshift style pen made with 5000 year old Irish bog oak uncovered only 20mile from me.

Lovely wood and now off to the customer tomorrow.

As always feedback and critique welcomed.

Have a great evening.

Lovely Pen Aaron, very nicely turned and presented.
Made a fair few of those over the years and sold all of them with no issues, wasn't until later, people came back saying they loved the pen but find it difficult to use as they are rather top heavy :rolling:
