Thread: inspired by russ

after poking around on russ fairfield's site yesterday , (never new about it until he passed away , wish i had though )i read all his pen stuff ( very sad when a man like him passes ) decided to have a crack at the long one , and this is the result , not the best but i will make some more and get better at it ( i kinda rushed it a bit , big no no )
its river red gum , the little whatitsname thing to stand the pen in ,i never had so i made one from a bit of leftover home made black resin pen blank .the black band is a bit of the black plastic card that i bought for making celtic knots .
finish is not good but it was only a trial run .
i also have some pepper mill kits some where that i bought about 6 months ago and a cutter with extension must dig those out and work out how to make them ( never done one ).
just been down and checked the river she is running moderate flood height at the moment ( still rising )they want water for the murray ,its on its way .
