Omega in black chacate. What a lovely wood to turn, the photos don’t do the pen justice.

Commonly called Hairy Oak see pic of a Hairy Oak Tree.

Yes, I know. If you've just fallen over with the shock, I quite understand why. Back in the day I was making perhaps 7 or 8 pens a day, but I haven't had time to do one for over two years. Here it is. It's chrome Beaufort Headwind (no surprise there) in a resin cast carbon fibre blank.

Beech wood with Melamine Lacquer finish. Propelling pencil and pen set, not in one of my "home made" boxes either. But in a presentation box all the same. I do realise there is a place for my boxes and slimline ones aren't one of them

This Omega is a gift for a Church friend, hence the fish, which got a wee bit lopsided.

Hellooooo everyone, its been a while!!:whistling: Hope you are all well. I thought I'd share my recent leather-bound pens with you as I wanted to try out Phil's new Etesia and Headwind kits as they both allow for chunkier material on the tube which is ideal for me as I can now use thicker...

I've been visiting my friends in London for 50 years now, this was from the pear tree they had to cut down a few years ago. ?They've asked me to make pens out of the wood that's been in storage for many years. This was a little soft but with careful skew chisel work It's turned out quite well I...
