    Default Streamline dai sensei blank

    I scored this blank along with some others off Neil (dai sensei) at the get together at Prime Movers a while back.

    It's a streamline and the blank was one of the bunch I got from Neil, It came up really well and no problems using sharp chisel.

    Thanks Neil. Sorry I couldn't do the blank justice with my photography, it looks 10 times better in the flesh and the colours much more vibrant.
    Reality is no background music.
    Cheers John

    I was really pleased with the results. Just a shame the pic doesn't do justice to the blank. Thanks again Neil.

    You really did a great job job on Neil's blank!
    Excellent fit and finish with a nice choice of kit and plating to complement the blank.
    Great collaborative effort!
    Well done.

    Wow, thank you guys; to get those sort of comments from some of the top pen makers on this forum and indeed some of the best pen turners anywhere, I am truly delighted. Neils blank is absolutes stunning in the flesh and I think I will be keeping this one.
