    Default A Couple Is Better Then None

    Hey All

    So having the weekend of I was pumped to get to the shed and do alot of casting and turn some pens but the weather had other ideas. A heat wave lol just ask HazzaB how small my shed is and trust me he has to duck to get into the door lol

    Anyway first one is a work shop clutch pencil with a 5.6mm lead. I got these kits from Tony Forsyth (Aussie maddog) Perfect Pens and pencils is his website and looks like he is growing his range ;-) good luck Tony and all the best in your adventures

    So here it is wrapped with one of my WW blanks call Venus with York Gum Burl


    My second one is a Spring Blossom from Timberbits my first one too this is a seriously big pen not for the faint hearted ;-)

    So here it is wrapped with one of my WW blanks Called Aurora Lights with York Gum Burl



    Also did some casting aswell some Shedded blanks for TimberbitsAnd some coloured PR solids unfortunately the heat restricted me a bit :'(

    Anyway u know what Shedded blanks look like so here is one I call Choc Strawberry I did 2 versions

    Version 1



    Version 2



    Thanks for looking and C&C welcome

    Ian

    Beautiful work Ian. I love the mix of timber and the resin in the first one.

    The clutch pen looks a little bit shy - it doesn't want to reveal its "venis" haha

    great pen and pencil mate, i love the colors in the pencil

    and that choc strawberry is one hell of a mouthful, might be a bit crunchy but certainly looks good enough to eat

    have you heard the saying
    the worst day in the shed is definitely better than my best day at work

    all the best
