    Default Blast from the past

    I though I would share one of the pens I use everyday, it's well over 15 years old, at one stage I had about 10 of these on the go but using them on the counter they all seemed to disappear. It's a Pen-1GP kit, the body is Coastal Banksia, the ends are Ebony and the veneer is Silver Ash, finished with 3 coats of NC Lacquer.

    I wonder who has the oldest pen on the forum? Nice pen by the way and its stood the test of time quite well.

    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.
