Hi all, What a place to have a workshop, just go out and cut a piece of wood and turn it. NOT advisable to drink on that day! Have not found a way to plumb in the loo yet, hence the mountain in the foreground. And the electric power is sky high around here. Kelvin

Hi all, following Peter's .475 Nitro case pen, here is a .500 Nitro case pen......made with an Omega kit I turn both sections, cap and barrel to fit inside the cases( both stop end turned) then turn glue grooves and fix in place. A quick polish and lacquer done!! These are both once fired Eley...

is it possible to turn a pinecone

I don't post pictures as my pens aren't up to the forum standard but since I posted a picture of the crosscut London Plane blanks it seemed right to post a picture of how the grain came out once they were turned. Managed to turn these while cutting brass on the CNC, the one on the left is brown...

Found a few blanks that our wm460 Mark sent me a few years ago so decided to give this Bohemia wood blank a turn. Melamine finish. Stunning OZ wood to turn and the grain is superb.. Thanks Mark..

I bought some Olive wood blanks off ebay a while back and decided I'd drill and glue a few to make some slimline pen and pencil sets. I found the blanks to be very, very light with absolutely no weight to them whatsoever. The 7mm drill bit almost fell through them. The first blank I tried to...

Hi all, I managed to finish this beauty earlier.....the blank is one of Bammers specials.....they turn really easy and polish well with Farcla polish

Hi guys, just a Scottish Spurtle made today. Turned from English Cherry wood, sourced locally. Loved this wood, very fine grained wood easily turned and sanded down to a very fine finish. Just had a little walnut oil applied to the surface, to bring out the grain. May turn more later, as I have...

Hi all Not been around lately due to domestic pressures but have made some time to try improve my skills. I now have a vacuum and pressure chamber and now enjoying trying to dry out, stabilize and turn into pens. I have taken some pictures but photography is not my best subject :-)

I made this pen today using black palm wood, it's tricky to turn but worth persivering with.

Hi All I am relatively new to pen turning and can someone tell me any organisation that can help with my addiction. I find myself having to turn pens on a daily basis. Only joking what a great hobby. Steve

Also managed to turn these acrylics too. From left to right a Zeta with a Picasso blank from Beaufort Ink. An Epsilon with a blank I cast last weekend. Another Zeta this is with a blank supplied as part of my mystery box.
