Thread: No centerband pens

Very nice work. That makes for a much better looking pen.

nice work phil
getting rid of that centre band make the pen so much better sometimes
if you want a go at doing a slimline pen without the band heres the link the the tutorial i made https://www.woodworkforums.com/f207/t...torial-117711/ give it a go

Good looking group of pens there Phil!

Great way to display the wood, nice work, Amos

I just finished my first long wood pen - a cigar. Will have to try these ones too. I like how it shows off the wood so well.

Nice pens. Thanks for posting.

Cheers,
Dave

phil glad that you like the tutorial hope you give it a go , it would be really nice to see some of those amazing african timbers done that way

oh and mackay has changed dramaticly since 1982
keep up the good work

It is pleasing to see the Long wood style of pen being made, i had made a slimline ages ago from Concaberry but in a closed end form. desperately trying to find it again. This style allows more grain to be shown and a more pleasing gentle curve to be added to the design. Anyone with a pen wizard or similar machine would be able to do so nice rope spirals for a different twist to the pen so to speak. It is great to see the work that is being produced.

Cheers

Nice work and lovely timbers. I am not really a fan of pens with no centre band but these are really nice.and would certainly add attraction to any collection
