Two Cambridge FP Sterling/Titanium Gold
These are my first attempts at the Cambridge I purchased off Addictive, I am impressed with the artwork on the clips and centre bands. The wood is Mallee Burl, the making wasw not without its upsets, first one easy, second one I somehow destroyed one section, had to make another blank and start again,. Finish is as per DJ CA. Hope you like them, Amos

Very nice pens, Amos.
Must try the CA finish myself someday. DJ makes it look so easy....Coffee, chocolate, women. Some things are better rich.

Beautiful work Amos, really like those blanks and the finish.
Must say I find the Cambridge kit a bit "blingy" for my taste.
Did you use a skew or a gouge on these?

Wonderful pens! I like that kit. And your finish is superb. <sigh> When am I going to learn to do this?
When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.

No way DJ! I have so much to learn yet, learnt plenty off Soren the other day, realized just how far lacking my skills are.
Now, please make a video on how to sharpen tools, Soren was talking about a triton Sharpening stand, I have a gadget from Carroll's that is fairly good, but I need guidance in how to do it properly. Amos
