Received two parcels today first one from David Michell and the other from Michael aka Grommett

David has sent 5 beqautiful pens all boxed up and an added touch of "Thank You" on the clips.

Michael has sent me 10 beautiful pens 5 of which he thinks the timber, from an old mirror, is mahogony and I think he is correct

Many thanks to both of you, the stock pile is increasing but we can do with more.

Ther are turners will to make up the kits if you want to just supply them.

Pens from David


Pens from Michael

I made a couple this morning for the troops, as we seem to have all timber I made some acrylic ones.

This brings the total up to 235 pens looking to make the 300 mark
