    Default Special Commission

    Hi All
    I helped a friend in Brisbane with this.
    350 Euro pens in Redgum and engraved with the company name.
    I turned 200 of them and engraved all.
    Thanks to David at Timberbits for his support.

    It's only a foot long, but I don't use it as a rule

    Euro, I would have thought any pen . I did 50 for a project I was on once, stopped turning pens for 6 months

    Don't remind me, I give a pen as a parting gift to anyone I have worked for, or anyone who has worked for me. So far the cut backs have cost me ~$700, I stopped making cheap pens years ago , and there are still more to go

    You must have had some patience to make that lot Lindz. Euros are a nice pen but they can be a pain with the parting tool portion of the turning. Great work. That's a big commission.
