    I think there are some others as well
    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

    A couple have been said but here's my list of favourites (in no particular order):

    Gary Pye
    Addictive Pens
    Jim Carrol
    Carbatec
    Timbecon (could have sworn they had them but couldn't find any on the site just then, they have the wine stoppers though?)

    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

    Cheers Stirlo... was looking under turning. I am pretty sure I have turned all of your blanks with the exception of the burls an olive and maybe an ossage. Have fallen in love with the olive and am using a sierra in olive as my work pen. Friends near the parents have a 30+ year old olive tree and next time it gets a trim, I get the offcuts. There are also a few olive groves around here so might have to make a few phone calls and a visit. They could sell some olive wood pens for me.

    Cheers,
