:no: you can't I won't let you turn back now back to vessels and bowls please :U your on a path that leads to writers cramp. These off cuts are better used for finials and such.:;

A very nice set/array of pens George love the finishes and good use of scrap wood :;

Welcome to the pen section, I hope you have lots of spare cash, this pastime is expensive.

A really nice set of pens there beautifully turned, fitted and polised as well as some great snaps.

Well done :2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:
