My holidays
I'm still in denial about turning pens.
I'm really just dipping my left toe in.
But I've turned this six out over the last two weeks.
Pretty happy with them, lots of lessons learned.
And my wife has said she might collect pens[emoji849].
Cheers Matt

Hi Matt,
Nice work on the pens. Lovely finish both gloss and grain. What are the kits on the extreme left and the kit and blank on the extreme right. One on the right looks like would be quite at home in a Mad Max movie.
Cheers,
Mac

Good work on the pens.

Last one on the right is a knights armour kit in Ebony.

The unknown timbers come from the box under the lathe there my off cuts!!!!

Hi Matt,
Thanks for that. King Arthur and the knights of the round table was my second choice.
I also believe the term " suck it up princess" to have been used by both genders.
Cheers,
Mac
