    Default Peppercorn pen

    Just about had to get out my G.P.S. today and find my
    shed, it seems that long since I turned anything.

    The result - a peppercorn slimline. Quite happy with it
    and will give me the incentive to try more of this wood.

    My memories are strong with regard to the Peppercorn Tree what a smelly, messy tree it is first real contact in the early 1950,s when I courted my wife at the farm property.

    Your pen is nicely crafted, has a flow to it ,pleasant toning altogether a decent pen, the best thing beside shade in the summer I have seen from a Peppercorn tree.(I wonder is that tree still growing?)

    Kind regards Peter.

    Nicely done, so much wood, so little time. Where did you source the blank, no forget it, it was probably local secret knowledge. Cheers

    Thank you Peter for your kind comments.

    Ray, tell the truth, you did not find my shed via Google,
    you found your way when you smelled breakfast from
    the main street of Wallan. (Still remember the nice visit).

    Grommet. I cannot recall who gave it to me but it was the
    only one I had. Nevertheless my sister has a tree of it so
    when I next visit her I will see if there is a scrap lying around
    for you and Ray. Biggest problem will be remembering to
    do so.
