Yes I believe it is one of vinces blanks.The Mistral is a beautiful kit and needs dressing well....is that one of Vinces old premium cellulose blanks??
I still make the slimline and Streamline pens, but have moved over from Sierra to Beaufort kits. However I wish I was in your woodturning club as I have never made a fountain pen nor segmented a blank or a Celtic knot. I was taught by one tutor who has now left and the other has bad health and can't always get in.....A Mistral fountain pen. I like this kit. Not a very good picture.

So apart from pens, Christmas trees or snowmen, that's all I have made and only have been taught to use three tools
Roughing gouge, skew and a spindle gouge but can't always get it right as I keep taking lumps out of the trees.......
I have not come across Pat Carroll, though as there are no woodturners near me I had to learn by myself.....Internet helped.Tom
suggest you watch Meet the Woodturner , Pat Carroll meetthewoodturner@gmail.com .
Pat is in Ireland and there are loads of turners n groups . Maybe if you ask he might be able to put you in touch with another group or tutor ? Either way it’s worth getting in touch to get an invite to the online meetings
Alan note you’re online , can you give him any guidance ?
