    Default African Blackwood Burl Vertex Pen

    My first pen other than Slimline or Modidied Slimline. The timber was Hex cut using my design Penmill.

    The Burl is very subtle. Overexposed detail.

    Regards Peter.

    As in the title The name of the kit is Vertex sourced through a friend from PSI also sold by others. It is a click action.
    Because the brass is 3/8 inch and 3 inches long I had to modify all the way my gear I cant believe how easy one piece kits are to make, however I can afford Slims or Streamlines or mixes of both. As soon as I saw the first one I reasoned it perfect for hex cut timbers or acrylics. The click is silent making it ideal for grandchildren as without a noise can be a real relief.
    In the next day or so I will rephotograph the pen outside.
    Cheers Peter getting stronger even cheeky.Thankyou.

    Beautiful pen, Peter. Haven't seen that kit before. Lovely piece of timber.
    When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.
