    Default First Pen

    Keep going you now know how. Myrtle a good solid timber and since your from tassie you are in a good position to increase your varieties in Pen blanks.

    You did make a great first pen.

    regards Peter.

    Nicely done. It's good to see a first timer turn a "proper" slimline without going for the wasp-waist.

    I particularly like the detail lines at each end of both barrels, they complement the centre band detail well.

    You sure it's your first?
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    Hello jason, great first pen, don't worry about Skew and his "proper" slimline, just try one with a "waist"! Amos

    You're now on that slippery slope of an ever increasing pen blank collection
