    Default A bit of time

    I've managed to find a bit to time to get to the shed. Things were hectic when I was back at work - just hope they don't quieten down too much now that I am back to semi-retirement.

    Here are a couple of pens I have been getting ready for my first markets. The tri-coloured Euro comes from a piece of Tree Fern, John gave me. As I haven't got the gear to stabilize the timber, it took about 2oz of CA and a lot of gluing back together when it cracked. I also think my photography is getting a little better. I have changed the set up for taking the photos.

    Well done Greg they all look great but I have a question and thats what in the world have you used for all those far out looking blanks are they some of the painting one you had been experementing with awhile back ? they look great and it is great to see pens that have been made with different stuff for a change it really spices things up and build interest for people to have a go at that type of thing.

    Well done mate

    Cheers Ian

    A nice range of pens Greg. I particularly like the narrow straight slimline (0024.jpg). It will be interesting to see if the Highline Euros are sellers. I have mixed feelings about them and so far I don't plan to buy any more myself.

    When and where is your market stall going to be ??
