    Very nice. I have yet to do the knot thingy. I noticed some staining on the white (huon) pen. I am guessing its from the EEE. Neil, from Ubeaut, suggested not using EEE on pens for this reason. Sand and go straight to your finish. I have found this works for me. Cheers

    Thank you for coming Patch, but anyone who can do something like that after 2 weeks is, quite simply not wanted on a class site like this
    The bull has filled my paddock, that is absolutely fantastic work, don't mind me, I'm just jealous.
    Really well done, your are quite entitled to a great deal of pride.

    Very well done Patch!
    Form, Fit and Finish look great.
    The Celtic Knots looks like it has excellent symmetry.

    I still have not tried a CK yet and you have in just 2 weeks.

    Well done

    @*&#% I tried the CK bit. Look like a bloody reef knot. Well done. You can be proud of them for sure

    Going for the Trifecta Pen Pencil And Box in such a short space of time very adventurous
    indeed. Well done looking forward to your progress. We all recall how important our early work is to us but I hasten to say I would not make a knot even now after a long time with pens. I like your courage.

    Kind regards Peter.
