first in ages

First pen iv made in months (since tablesaw took a bite out of my thumb)
its a gift for a Doctor leaving the hospital were my wife works
Jr Emperor wrapped in a brown mallee burl with a strip of red mallee burl down middle
it took me several goes to get it right
1st didnt get propper adheasion between parts (started to seperate when i drilled them)
used slow setting epoxy
2nd drilled hole for the cap off centre so back to drawing board
dont think i will make another like this again too many factors to go wrong for my liking
finished with CA Attachment 370019Attachment 370020Attachment 370021
all C& C welcome
cheers Tony

It may have been a bit of a bugger, but then end result is bloody nice and I bet the doc will appreciate it immensely

Looks great from here.

Cracking blank and a great job overall!!:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

I made an Emperor some years back but the design of the kit is quite different.

thanks for the positve feedback
cheers Tohy

Tony that pen worked out on the money difficult to line up during assembly for you a snap love the Burl.

Tony, beautiful:2tsup::2tsup:, but I don't think it is a Jnr Emp.:? Maybe another kind of high end kit. Amos:):2tsup:
