    Default Hi Liam

    Good onya mate really top effort on those pens, friendly welcome to the mosh pit in wood turning the Pen Makers as such we are always looking for that elusive grain, finish, style scrounging others discards from bowl pieces etc. In Woodwork Pens are often maligned by many but remember this THE WORTH OF A PEN is beyond measure.
    Have fun regards Peter.
