Thread: Hand made pen boxes

Thanks for the heads-up David!!

I haven't even seen the Austrailian wood Review up this way so it would be nice if you would put it up as a tutorial for us to see on how to do it.

Cheers Ian

Well done David, that is certainly a feather in your cap

Excellent work - must be an awsome feeling your work is on the front cover of a magazine

I forgot to say congratulations in my previous post a job well done indeed and can I also ask what is that lovely timber that the main box is made out of in that photo ?
the boxes really set off a pen and make it a complete gift.



Cheers ian

David
I read the article last night
I'd recognised the boxes as probably yours - was suspicious when I saw the cover

Nicely written article and congrats on being published
I was going to post something but you beat me to the punch

well aint that strange . cos i never buy woodwork mags ( well i did many many years ago but havent for a very long time ) anyway today while in the big smoke a had a quick look at the mags in the newsagent ( actually looking for boat building and bow making )and spotted this one with a knife making ,and a box making article so i grabbed it for a read have'nt realy looked at it yet ,then i come on here and ...........well there ya go , now i wonder what realy prompted me to buy was it some kind of unseen force .

oooo
The force be with you

Very good David, now I won't buy off you I'll build them myself!! However, they will be out of square and triangle shaped , and filled with gap filler, and all that sort of wonderful personal touch!-- On second thoughts, you can make them-I think I'll stick to those little round things with ink inside, you know the things you actually put in the box!, Very well done and well deserved, congratulations. Amos

Hey David,

Well Done

Well done David and to make the front cover you must be chuffed and rightly so

You will have to be carefully with all the extra sales generated they might ask you to be a regular

The box on the cover of the mag is Olive wood from SA. The pen to match it was BOW.

Thanks everyone for the kind words, any yes i'm chuffed that it made the front cover.
