Very well done laminating Ian!
Form, Fit and Finish looks great.
I like the contrasting materials.

Hey Les

Thanks it is a head turner I must admit

Ian - Yes, a very nice pen. The photography is absolutely first class which shows the finish is very good. With the Sierra Kit my preference is for the blank to flow with the shape of the pen but that's just my opinion. Love the colour combination, you're much more adventurous than I am.

Did you use epoxy for the glue up and did you have any trouble drilling?

Keep up the good work.

Fredo :U

Thats a stunner Ian. You are on a roll there.

Did you use normal turning tools, or did you use a carbide tool to handle the aluminium ?

I'm not a fan of the bulbous shape, but many others seem to like it, each to their own.

[Claw Hama]

Very funky Ian, you're obviously having a lot of fun.

Hey Fredo

Thanks I found that some people like pens that are shaped and other not so I do a bit of both to keep everyone happy :2tsup: I did use epoxy but the when I when to drill it out it fell apart so I finish drilling each section at a time and then used CA to glue it all together

Ian
