Just an update. I excitedly drilled and glued the pens when they arrived. Unfortunately I have managed to damage some tendons in my ankle and am now couch bound for a week. Hopefully I can get back to work on them later in the week.

Many thanks to Duncan aka Avery, Don Penrose and Jenny Dunlop aka Touchwood for the fantastic sets of pens I have received. Jenny has even hand sewn and embroided the covers
This year we will be sending pens to Agghanistan, Timor and the Solomons, Eddie has informed me that the ones for Op Mazurka have arrived

My start on some pens, the lot on the left are blanks form Ironwood and the pens on the right are ones that were started by Cookie before he got ill. I hope to have some more by next week
The left bottom two are my first attempts at closed end pens no special tools were used
