blank

I am thinking of buying a pen vice and there seems to be two I have found one at Axminster tools and one at Turners Retreat [PBCV Pen Blank Vice]. I would appreciate any help in deciding which one to go for. Thanks Jim

Well I appear to have done a few pens this month.....my latest comission is this Sirocco pencil with a Scott Walker blank (aka Sawes). Cheers mate!

That's what it's called. Has engraving on lower end. 6'' Long This is a resin blank. Very powdery when turning.

This is a wedding pen for my friend Lauren and her fiance Braydon. She chose the blank and the kit. The kit is a Sierra Elegant Beauty in black titanium and platinum. The blank is paua abalone. Both are from Exotic Blanks. The blank is magnificent, and I'm very happy with how it turned out. Now...

A mixed material burr and acrylic blank made by Frederick, and the second this year I am now going for a lie down this is just too much:whistling::whistling::whistling: You can see some of the effect that is in the blank in the second photo.

Well the first pen for 2020 and the first for a long time:face::face::face: I had this kit in my pen draws for ages and the blank is one half of one that I drilled before breaking the other half and the hole was just the right size for this kit as well as being long enough. just shows that not...

Here's a pen I turned from a blank of Lucerne that George sent me from Adelaide Hills.

Hi guys, I’m new to turning pens, but recently have been having problems with the bushes sticking to the blank after applying a ca finish. I have tried the tapered plastic bushes as well, but find that when breaking the bush off the blank, the finish is chipping. Have tried using a parting tool...

A hybrid burr elm and polyester resin blank on a gold and ti Zeta. Blank cast by Brad Herrington. A bit too Barbara Cartland for me but someone will love it.

Another fine blank from Mr Herrington. Pine cone in PR on a gold and ti Sierra. I left the tube and the inside of the blank unpainted to let the brass show through giving a sort of retro look because the colours reminded me of Christmas in the 1950s. C&C welcome on this unorthodox approach but...

Hey all. This Sunday, I took myself into the shed, put on some headphones and just enjoyed an hours peace focusing purely on this pen. Im never terribly happy with the photos, as I do not think it does the pen justice, but I hope you enjoy this little one. Blank made by myself.

Partly for personal reasons, partly because I have been doing other things and partly because I have only been making run of the mill stock pens for my stall in the TIC at Morpeth I haven't posted here recently, although I have been lurking in the background watching what is going on. I have...

Hi I haven't posted in a while but I have been keeping busy. I had a spat were I sold quite a bit of stuff then it died a death. It got to the point where it was actually costing me money to make pens. People just did not want to pay the money for them. So I stopped making pens. Any way Xmas is...

Hi all it's been a while coming but here we go.....another Olive pen from my Cypress stock, this time a Levech Then we have a massive favourite of mine a Mik Lawrence hybrid blank on a Sirocco. I just love these, they never fail to impress how ever many I have done, my little pic me up...
