Hi All,
I'm not a dinosaur and I do like to be in with the trends, but I have never really been a fan of tct turning chisels. I bought a square mini one from Easy turn years ago used it a couple of times and went 'Nah' don't get me wrong I know how to sharpen a skew or gouge so I'm not looking...

Garno paid me a visit today and made a very very nice donation of his lathe and some chisels to our veterans it’s a very nice little lathe which will be a massive help with PTSD I have thought many veterans to do Woodturning and they all say what a big help it is when turning the demons that...
Greetings Pen People
Today’s offering is a bit of walnut my carpenter friend gave me. It was leftover from some furniture he was making and it had green/blue dye on one edge when I received it and made me think it might look nice with a bit of teal. Teally nice you might say? (Sorry).

Well always late to the party, here is my go at a headwind.
First thing you will notice is that It is not a fountain pen :goesred: the blank sort of exploded on the lathe, strange as I still had a couple of mm left. Nice bit of purple heart gone to wood heaven :pray::pray::pray:

The nearest woodturning club to me opened its doors last night with a demo from Chris Parker (The Bald Woodturner). Sheffield Woodturners Home
I was so much out of my depth, the bloke turns a bowl faster than I can get my job onto the lathe.
He started off by turning a bowl and he then...

I have dusted off my tools and tuned up my lathe and I am ready to start turning again...! I have been away from any woodworking for over 10 years. So I hope to make a few friends and pick your brains for much-needed information and get back to it. Nice to meet you all...!

This is tortoiseshell cellulose acetate (modern).
The customer wanted the keyhole breather in the nib which I think is a nice touch. It’s a 14k Bock.

Hello gentlemen!
I come here regularly, but I have not posted for a long time. Penpal and his goodwill insisted on showing this one for the beauty of the wood.
I have always wanted to make a pen of desert ironwood, but I could not find a burl that met my expectations.
Patience paid, I recently...
I couldn't go along with such a deceiving pen so I have removed the culprit and changed it to a more conventional clip. It's a pity as its quite nice pen.
Just one more question can you get the ends ( yellow in picture but doesn't matter what colour) for the refills.
Hi all, anyone might think I have a fetish for Dymondwood.... I managed to get a nice few blanks here, just need to sharpen my tools.. Lol
Most of these are bullet hard Dymondwood some are just straight and a couple of Spectraply blanks(a little bigger and a little softer) these should be nice...
