It is coming up to the centenary of the Rivers racing yacht and I was asked to make a few pens to commemorate this using timbers from an old Rivers yacht. This is a trial pen.

Good to see you back Peter, and hope that all went well with your treatment. Missed your comments and your pens. Alan

I few I turned recently.
