Sweet job

I found the tute easy to follow and I think you could consistently produce some nice pens using this method. The only issue i had was turning the nib end a little thin which made it...

Great Effort

Yes Wiz I realise a close up would be more beneficial, however this is the best I can do. If somone knows the tree well and good otherwise doesn't matter. The tree is not there anymore.

Not peperina as there are some on same farm, I ahve not seen similar tree about here. it was near site of old house so may have been planted. There is some nice figure through the timber but not much...

Can anyone ID this"oak" tree, timber looks oaky but leaves were rounded type
thanks. (see tree behind horse)

Hey
Welcome to an endless learning journey of pen addiction!
Nice pens and solid effort first up.
cheers:)

Hey Welcome
I asked my 4 year old son and he said cool, Now he wants one! Nice job a real toy not a piece of electronic junk
Cheers

Hi
I suggest if it was cleaned (sanded or planed) up so you can see colour etc you would have more chance ID. And any other info such as density? Is it heavy or light/
cheers
:D

Where is camp somerset ? Somerset Dam??
