These are my first pens. Have tried experimenting with various shapes and formats. They are shown in the order in which they were turned, with the first one on the left.
I think the 1st 2 are better, as need to improve my technique, accuracy and finish on the others.
Lots more practice required!!9CF1F5C4-0F7E-4135-9D06-66731FEEA844.jpg

They all look neat and tidy Gavin, no: 1 is my preferred shape for My Slimlines, no : 5 is ok but the shape seems a bit weak, I think it would have been better to keep it slim all the way down IMHO. What finish did you use? :thumbs::thumbs:

They look great. Its always good I find turning slimlines first. It's cheap and its challenging. I didnt realise, but they are some of the hardest pens to turn, due to their small bushings, and to try and create a straight thin pen is tough for a newbie. It looks however you have done an incredible job, and you should be proud of your pens!
