I wish I could find the photos of my first couple of pens :thinks:
Or maybe just glad I can't find them :goesred:

I have messed up so many times over the past 6 to 8 months with pens, bowls etc etc the list goes on and on :rolling:
BUT its a heck of a learning curve and without makiing the errors and mistakes how will we ever learn :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

Oh and your 3rd pen looks WAY better than my tenth pen :whistling:

These blanks are made up of leaves of the same timber glued together after selective staining.There are two problems the timber and the glue they use,you did well first time IMHO.
