Worthless Wood Green
Hope you like these two Churchills, the finish is CA. They have custom made grips, custom made centre bands(portion of the centre band), and "invisible clip".
The blanks are from Jeff Powell aka Workinforwood, of the IAP site.
Cannot rush this type of pen crafting, (I learnt the hard way). Still have to complete the centre band for the Roller Ball,!
Your comments welcome, Amos

It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

Very eye catching, both in the choice of materials and in the finished pens.
Looks lke a lot of work went into them.

Having inspected those pens "in the flesh" this afternoon I can vouch for the fact that they actually look even better than in the photographs.
Fantastic work Amos, and it was a pleasure, once again, to spend some time with you.

I need a "Big Shed"
, to make little pens on my metal lathe!!!. It was great meeting up with you and Johanna again, a great priviledge. In fact, every time I have a "turning friend" turn up! I count it a priviledge. It was from this Forum that I have received inumerable tips and advice and frienship that has inspired me to go to greater heights. (PS, Fred left me a blank that he bungled ---so the race is on to see if I can turn it well enough to show him up!!!) Amos

Another amazing bit of work.
You soar from height to heights. Those are truly custom made pens.
When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.
