Feb Pen Swap Pics
I haven't found anyones pics yet so here is my start. I have been busy in the evenings so only one has been made. I have also had a go at a bullet click pen and it seems to work.
The bigger pen is Skews wood. I think it is his mystery oak with myrtle extra bits. The theme of "organic" is difficult. I just felt organic is smooth and flowing and this was the aim.
The bullet pen is rosewood from a door jam taken out of my brothers house. Amazing the wood that has been used in construction and painted over. His house is in Wauchope and rain forrest timber was readily available at the time.Terry B

Would you believe, I also forgot? Well... lost track of time, actually. 
Just realised I haven't posted the pic of last month's 2nd pen, either. As my aunt used to say with an 'orrified look on her face: "Oh deary, deary me!"

Nice work Terry,
You certainly got a better finish on the 'mystery' timber than I did.
I have taken photo's of my efforts, which I have saved onto my hard drive, but I don't know how to bring them as thumbnails from the hard drive into this thread. Would one of you technologically accomplished wizards be able to advise please???
Regards
Humber

Well I've shrunk the photo file and compressed it (I think???) so I'll try to attach it now and see how I go.

Nice pens I think. Just a suggestion. You have shrunk the image too much (down to a 15 k file) and it is very pixellated and I can't distinguish the harlequen pen. Try for a happy medium of 60-80 k size when you save it to your hard disk. Originally Posted by Humber
