Made just for my lad for school. His Aspergers has always given him trouble with his grip, so writing has always been a battle, but he came home with an award for his handwriting before the Easter holiday. So had to make this for him to keep up the encouragement.
Used a bit of my pallet stash, a c/b from an offcut of a dyed pen blank, dyed the main sections with yellow spirit stain and gave it a ca finish.

cheers all:thumbs:

That is one helluva pen Brody, faultless, very pleasing to the eye and a very suiting award for your son that is obviously not letting any disability stand in his way. You must be so proud of him and him of you.

BIG:thumbs:

A well deserved prize for his work and something he will be proud of when he has sold his 100th pen. Great pen and well worth the making of
