Hi all,

I bought a number of small burl Oak off cuts from Ebay. A piece is shown in the picture.
Managed to make a slim line pen out of them. This pen did fight me all of the way though
which, of course, some do. The cracks were the main problem and needed constant filling.
I would have stabilised the off cuts but my vacuum pump is not working correctly.


The colder temperature does (I think) effect CA drying times between coats.

Anyway, this is the result.

Would I be the first to wish everyone a Merry Christmas
