Hi All, No not my last pen but my last hybrid blank from George.... I have mentioned on here before, George Watkins or 'From the tree' was one of the first companies to produce hybrid blanks and I remember going on line when he had posted a new batch and watching them go 'out of stock' very...

Hi all, My father in law needed a new one and we were stuck for a gift.... Why do one when you can do two Blanks are very old George Watkins... From the tree

Another beautiful blank from George, why oh why did he stop!! This has streaks of irredescent purple in it and was a real pleasure to turn

Hi all, my latest commission..... I was asked to do a 'green' fountain pen in the last throws to what passed as Christmas. I did a double dyed blank which I thought was stunning... But she wanted a hybrid!!... Well I ordered a couple from a certain turner turn caster and they 'melted' just...

Hi all, I was asked for a green hybrid pen by a customer, not one I had in stock... PANIC.....a quick Google and two purchased from the bay of E.... How wrong was that, it melted as I drilled it and it wasn't even warm.... Two wasted blanks..... THINK!!... I used to use George Watkins...

I havent posted any scroll saw work for a while so this is something taken from the artwork of an Irish artist called George Callaghan. Hope that you like it.

Here's a pen I turned from a blank of Lucerne that George sent me from Adelaide Hills.

Hi all..... Day two.....pen two This one in antique gold jnr George

Hi all, well first one out the bag...lucky dip style, was this one..... This is done with a jnr George kit in antique silver...the others will be antique gold:winking:

Thought I'd have a go at a click pen for a change. It came out reasonably well so I'm pleased with it. George

My mother-in-law likes bright thigs, so I made her a happy pen. :thinks: George

couple of little boxes out of walnut, inspired once again by George Watkins c&c welcome Andy

Turned a whistle and did a bit of pyrography on it. It was supposed to sound like a cuckoo, but it's all cuck and no koo. :sob: George

Made a Yo Yo for my grandson. The project had its ups and downs but worked out okay in the end. George

Used up a bit more of my patience and did another slimline harlequin pen, this time in blue. It looks like hard work, but it's just therapy for the sole. George

Another modified slimline. Pyrography and Chestnut stains with a melamine finish. George

First pen for a while. A modified slim line turned from ebony with a white milliput inlay. George

I turned an egg but it kept rolling off the mantle piece so I made a stand for it. George

This was a simple project. I made various shapes with the pyrography iron and then filled them in with stains. Not great but its cheerful. George
