A couple of TM Hera pens in Tamarisk.

I got a parker ball pen given as a Xmas present several years ago. Its a click pen I first noticed the nib was not fully retracting you could actually write with it without pressing the click part. I gave the pen top a tweak and the whole thing ended up spitting its bits all over my desk. Having...

Before Xmas I was asked to make 10 pens by a business man to give to his best customers. Well it seems his not so best customers got to see the pens and asked why they did not get one. So he has asked me to make another 15 pens. I am not sure that's what I had in mind when I went down this pen...

I appreciate this has been discussed many times before but there is currently an interesting dialogue on The International Association of Penturners members forum about pen finishing. I take this to be a concern with wood rather than acrylics as using one of the proprietary polishes on plastic...

Finding me way around been a long time since I went on a forum made these few pens this morning

Todays silly question live from Dronfield is, When turning things in wood I have noticed that I only seem to make fine dust and no ribbons whilst making whatever it is, this is not only on pens but bowls as well. If I am turning acrylic pens I do get ribbons albeit very thin and narrow ones...

Here are a few Beaufort Sirocco pens I’ve turned using some of our new Sparkle DiamondGlitz blanks

Well nothing is straight forward with this hobby it seems, The new minefield I seem to be tip-toeing through is the one of blue towelling, the more I search for a good price the more put off I become, There are loads of differing versions out there. For those of you that use them what is your...

Yep, every year on the first Friday in November, it’s International Fountain Pen Day, and has been since it was introduced in 2012. This year, the first Friday in November is the 5th, which happens to be today. Who introduced it? I have absolutely no idea, but unlike some other tenuous attempts...

Can anyone tell me if such a thing as a ladies fountain pen exists? On my Christmas prezzie list two ladies, Cathy and Ellie, both like fountain pens but have small hands so the likes of the Churchill are no use to them.
