That very nice man Vic kindly sent me some Rowan root and a box full of it arrived this morning so I've just popped up to the shed to have a look to see what its like and here is its is in an Epsilon

Thank you Vic :thumbs:

I notice that in the picture the nib end looks like I've put it together the wrong way round but it isn't and it doesn't show quite as much as it looks in the hand.

I guess many of us in here wouldn't have looked at that wood twice a few years ago .. Good that we have changed or we wouldn't be seeing lovely pens like this .. You two are definitely a good double act .. :winking:
