    Default Pressy for Mothers Day

    First classic rollerball, and present for mum. Some sort of burl, maybe myrtle. Probably things wrong with it, but at least I solved the problem of the proud bit at the cap. Everything is flush. No problems that mum will be able to pick anyway! Nice bit of natural faulting in the timber which makes it look very rustic.

    Nice work. She should treasure that for years to come. Come to think of it, I should probably go and make my mum something.....

    Very nice Eliza, I like that blank you used.. It seems to have a load of character. I am sure your mum will be over the moon with that.

    Nothing quite as nice as making a gift for someone "special" we win both ways hehe, I always think a little of our soul goes into each and every item we produce ,that makes them even more special , make sure your "mum" uses it as well, not like some who put these away as they think they are too good to use every day ,cheers ~ John
    G'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!

    Great Job Eliza
    but all the pens you show look good,

    what was causing your proud moments? , I round the ends on mine so even if the are a little proud there isn't any catches when you run your hand over it { makes it look like a design feature then and adds to the uniqueness }

    Great job again and keep up the good work
    BTW your Mum will love it
    Cheers
    Glenn
