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.

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.Nil Desperandum
