Dear all,
I've been asked by a friend who has some high flying job with a posh title in The City (when you look into it he's just an insurance salesman) to make a fountain pen for him.
He's a fellow Welshman and I was thinking about some nice Welsh Oak burl as the wood, but would appreciate some ideas on what kit you think would suit a City Boy and if anyone knows if there are any blanks out there in said timber?
I'm also looking for some apple wood for a pair of pens, so any guidance on where may have blanks ready to go would also be appreciated!
Oh, and I do wish you lot would have told me how unbelievably addictive this pen turning lark is!
