    Default Custom Sierra

    Hey All

    After seeing one of the pens posted by one of the forums members I set out to make one and this what I ended up its a PR blank called Purple Copper Swril wet sanded and NP to finish. I had fun putting this one together but it was a mission to try and get the bushes to match so I had to improvise and come up with my own set up for now till I can find some to make me some bushes to this style of pen )

    Looks good to me by doing the centre part straight Bush to bush it slims the pen to suit a smaller hand ,around .480" inches off hand, you could do an EB for an even shorter style if needed You might try turning between centres (tempory bushes from cutting board should work and ,dial calipers for sizing . Good thinking and execution all round cheers ~ John
    G'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!

    Fred (Big Shed) will probably be able to make the bushes if yu need them. He has made a number of turn between centres for me

    That came out great, amazing what thinking outside the square can result in.
    I can second the comment on Freds bushings he is no doubt the master.

    Cheers Rumnut
