Hi Peter, Firstly I am not a turner but I do look at most posts re turning. I particularly like the pens made from various woods but am not keen on those made from other materials. Of the all of those made from wood that I have so far seen this one is an absolute stand out,by far my favourite and one I would be very pleased to have in my pocket. For you I would think this one is a keeper. Great work.

Beautifully made and finished. Timber is exceptional to say the least.
Reality is no background music.

Absolutely beautiful Peter. I like the design and the variation on a straight streamline. Great piece of timber.

I have always liked the fact you don’t do the straight line look, but add a bead or groove or some other detail that makes the pen unique and beautiful.
The color and figure in that piece of wood is fantastic, you did it justice."That's why I love my computer,,,,,,,, my friends live in it."

Nice timber!
Is this a Trimline kit?

Thanks everybody.
The kit is a Slimline using as my habit a Streamline Centre Band sold separately by David at Timberbits.(he has Gold, Chrome, Black etc) It enables me to make different designs using Slimlines and I confess freely I have not exhausted my choice of this basic pen kit as yet.
Kind regards Peter.Nil Desperandum
