The one is finished in CA and has been fitted with a Peter Bock nib from Phil.
These Alphas that I have been making are for the consultants who have been treating me when I was in hospital !!

I am using a piece of cream coloured glass which is similar to the black glass that I use. I got it from a local glass merchant !!!
I'll have to try and make more wooden pens to keep you and Grumps happy !!! LOL :kiss::kiss::kiss:

Looks great Terry and will be very well received. - I'm struggling to get a comparison on size between this and the Omega - any chance of a side by side photo ??

Unfortunately I don't have an Omega made up for you to compare Andy but what I can say is they are about the same length and I would say the width is about half as much again. Hope this helps Andy !!

Yew looks superb Terry.. Really nice job of it.

Up to your usual high standard as well..

Not sure I would treat my consultants to a pen at the moment, the way they are treating me tho..:devil: pillar and post comes to mind.:down:

They probably think two short planks..

Just make sure that other consultants don't send you bogus appointments to get their hands on one of these pens Terry .. :ciggrin:

Another great looking pen my friend .. :thumbs:
