Here’s a little matching pair. Bolt action Pen in a nice acrylic with a shotgun cartridge matching keyring with the leftover blank. And yes I know the pin is at the wrong end, as I drilled the brass to fit the ring holder I didn’t want to waste it.

My 4th fountain pen Beaufort Leveche kit.

Made a few kitless pens in the last week or so, and I am still very new to this. My main challenge with the first few was the finish on the external barrel threads. Even though they cut cleanly they were always looking a bit lacklustre compared to the rest of the barrel once I’d finished...

Supposed to have been away this weekend but my wife wasn’t t very well so a good excuse for some much needed shed time with my boy. The first pen is his a bolt action dressed with a resin blank - all I did was a bit of final shaping to get it dead straight he did the rest - he’s well pleased. I...

Two slimline finished in melamine. One is made from oak & the other from tulip wood. Kits & blanks donated by Woody.

Customer asked for postable cap. This is what I came up with. 5-3/4'' Capped 5-3/8'' Uncapped 7-3/8'' Posted Cap Need to find or make a better clip.

Hello all. New to this forum and pretty much to turning in general. Hopefully I've managed to attach some pictures of pens we've made recently. I say "we" as most were made with varying amounts of involvement from a number of young lads I work with on the family farm. All of them have struggled...

Think this may be a marmite pen, like or not. Sierra based pen with 2 white rings that glow in the dark :0)

Braided Sierra click pen wrapped with a braided tube, thanks to Les for explaining this process a while back.

This kit had been knocking about the workshop for some time so I thought I had better do something with it. Stabilised Spalted Beech (from the local forest).

A few triangles, some diamonds, a square, and several polygons. It was a "can I do it" exercise. I need to pay more attention to the combination of colors. Not totally happy with the pairings on the ends and the middle strips. (picky, picky, picky).

Bolt Actions with Caribou, Elk, Moose, Big Horn Ram, Mule and Whitetail bucks along with some Black and Grizzly Bear and Wild Boar. All done using Testors Waterslide Decal Paper on Curly Maple and finished with several coats of MINWAX Clear Satin Polyurethane using my Dipping Method Les

Up another batch of Lever Actions with a variety of barrel materials. Les

I have been selling a fair bit of this blank so thought it was worth a turn. Came up beautifully with a hint of pink shimmer thrown in to the mix. Its on a retro kit and although the bog oak looks very dark in the pictures is actually rather dark in real life too :funny:

Not happy with first photograph which doesn't do justice to this lovely timber, this photo shows a piece of the blank.

This weeks effort.

I just made my first kitless pen. Man it was tricky. Kudos to all you guys who make this look so easy. I spent ages designing and planning it up front but lots of things happened during the build that I hadn't catered for. Also I made a pretty basic mistake in my dimensions during the design...

Hi all, just a quick Sirroco made with a piece of Oak from the Robert Thompson workshops, famously known as 'The mouse man of Kilburn'. I cut it at an angle to give a bit of character, which I hope it does and finished with a few coats of melamine

Epsilon in stabilsed and dyed bur Chesnut. Lousy photograph but it's the best I can do at the moment. Kept me busy today :thumbs: Cheers Frederick

Some bog oak and more recent that never saw a bog
