    Default Thanks "Bruce"

    I had a good customer ask me to make a special handle for him to attach to a Knife steel. He wanted a pretty swirly acrylic ,like some of the pens he has bought for me , needed to be about 1 1/4 " dia and about 125 mm long , I contacted Bruce from woodnworkshop with my problem , he kindly cast me a special sized blank and it arrived today I couldn't wait to get stuck into it as I rarely stray from pen turning Here it is , thanks again Bruce
