This is a TM Zeta in gold and gunmetal. The woods are beech and walnut with alluminiumapex top and bottom. The top bands are green,red and yellow guitar picks. The scollop at the bottom is kirnite. Have been turning pens 8 months now and really enjoy segmented pens.

My wife came across some videos on YouTube showing making things from recycled HDPE plastic, of course she see pens being made. Since then she was saving plastic with out me knowing what she was doing. Today I got my orders. Here’s the results

As the title says really! A pen and pencil set made from burred elm - not the easiest but look lovely.

About a week ago I cleaned out part of one of my many sheds and sent 400 miles away 50 kg of cut timber blanks to a good mate. Included in the two huge boxes were these two pen blanks. On facebook I picked up on a plea for back loading from this company and spent a day packing the...

Hi all, I was asked to do a commission following on from viewing a set of Sirrocos I had made... customer wanted a fountain pen, from a pretubed Sirroco blank.... uhmm Well as you can see it is possible, next came the task of a colour matched cap......this is a bit of Ebonite from Phil, the...

I've been badgered to post ever since they let me out for good behaviour Accents are Silver ... Cheers

The last pen I posted divided opinion somewhat, much as I suspected it would. It was part for commission of three pens, the other two were Ceblox and this is one of them. If you haven't turned it before then it is very much a go-slow process. The finish is very nice and it feels very retro...

In a barter / exchange with an old friend, I've made her this streamline pen in Hawthorn. It was a dream to turn, and is gorgeously figured. If you are into "meanings" then my yoga teacher, who I made a Hawthorn pen for at Christmas, will tell you it is very a spiritual, female wood which...

I had a rummage through my pen kits last week and made these. All finished with Melamine lacquer.

Hi all, it's been a funny time of late! Well I am back at a proper lathe now. Here we have two stopped end Omega's I have made with the use of a pin chuck. The stabalised spalted Walnut came from Mark Lewin and just ooses character. The other Mauser Birch came from Phil Dart and was a pleasure...

My first attempt at a kitless pen that I turned last week from one of my own blanks, I’ve learnt quite a bit turning this & managed to make a couple of mandrels in the process.

Hi all Hope everybody is keeping well. I made this pen as a commission for a customer who picked the colours (I have made this style before, but not this colour combination). I must say that I was sceptical at first but I really liked it. I am sure this isn't the first time these colours have...
