First pen, Slimline in Oak. Have made a few more since from wood, resin and corian, but always proud of your first make.

Very tidy Jon.
Great first pen too.
How did you find turning wood to the corian and resin?

Making thin Slimlines is a gamble because the veneer thickness of timer etc is inclined to problems,in the event this your first is a boost. The turning to the fittings is great.

Thanks Dave.

I like turning wood, its mostly easier than the other two. Though resin does make a nice pen when everything goes right, it can be a pig to work at times. I do like the corian though, it has a nice cool feel when you first pick up the pen and takes a nice finish.
I will post more pics when I remember to.

Regards
Jon.D
