Well, these are going to make some stunning pens, these are fantastic in the hand...... The work of Mik Lawrence just gets better each time I order more....

Sorry guys and gals. I'll put up this weeks vote tomorrow - I've been out at my grandson's birthday party all day and I've run out of time I'm afraid. Watch this space tomorrow. My apologies if you've been lurking around waiting for it.

Alum with I think too many rings. The 2 pics are of the same pen but I'm having a hard time with the photos. The gum metal tip turns up that bronze shade.

Well it looks like I'm going to be laid up again. After seeing the Consultant earlier this week he has decided to completely remove the knee joint that I had replaced 10 years ago and fit another one. He hopes to get me in some time in March so I will need to get my finger out and get a few jobs...

Had a good time doing these. Cheers Frederick

Hi all, Braved the cold workshop. The burl wood played up a bit again not allowing the brass tube to enter the blank after drilling. Managed to fir it this time though. Good fun, I love this game. Cheers, Frederick

Reminders at Christmas time for me and Wilma. Peter.

Yes, I know. Wrong time of year really BUT after cutting up my acrylic slab I had a rather large piece that if I cut it for a pen blank I would of wasted a fair amount (poor cutting on my part :thinks: ) I decided to make an Icecream scoop out of it instead. Just a quick video to show what it...

Hi all, This is made from stabilised Olive wood and has CA finish. I enjoyed making this one. Unfortunately, the stabilisation process darkened the wood quite a bit. This time i placed more light on it when i took the picture in hope that the definition of the grain would improve.

Took a bit of time to get these ready, get it ... "Time" :funny::funny::funny::funny: A whole afternoon ...... yeah right :wink: Brad
