thanks for looking

cowboy

 

[mattyts]

Far better than my first pens!

 

[Woody]

Nothing to criticise with them they look well turned and finished the only thing I would recommend is to crop the photo a bit so we cans see the pens better

 

[edlea]

Nowt wrong there for your first ...you should be well pleased with them.

 

[Jim]

No criticism from me either Cowboy, damn good pens for a starter for sure, well done indeed .. :wink:

 

[silver]

They look ok for what I can see of them, crop the picture and zoom in a little and then we might see them a little better.

But for first sight they look good.

 

[Doug]

2 excellent first efforts, well turned

 

[cowboy]

l will crop them if l can

 

[Penpal]

Cowboy pleasure to see your pens mate they are special both to you and me as I see them I want you to know how well they are made.

Kind regards Peter.

 

[cowboy]

hope this is

hope this is better if not could you please tell me what size to get best picture thanks

 

[silver]

Just needs sizing so it's not stretched

Does that look better..

 

[silver]

That's an excellent job for your first pens, the nib end looks a little overturned on the bottom one.. But if mine was anywhere near as good as that I would have been cock-a-hoop...

 

[L200arg]

Looking good for your first pens, I which my first ones were that good

 

[yorkshireman]

A good start cowboy, nicely turned.

 

[naxie]

Good job Graham!

You've managed to turn two more pens than me this year already.

 

[cowboy]

Ed hope that is not due to the recent bad weather? her in doors as claimed a blank that you sent which l will be doing for her tomorrow and l will try and sort the picture sizing out as well

Fortunately my workshop is attached to the house so it's dry and toasty. Just copious amounts of work getting in the way and her indoors finding me something "better" to do. Had my Demo day today though so can't complain too much. :wink:

Which blank has the good lady singled out?

Try out that box wood, it's a dream to turn. It came from the mother - inlaws garden in France, I guess it shows even mother-inlaws have their uses.

 

[bluntchisel]

Yep, Cowboy, they look pretty fine to me, matey. Well done!

Bob.

 

[cowboy]

Ed it`s the greeny blue one

 

[rowdyyates115]
