Excellent work again Alan, they are top notch.

I like them Alan, nice bit of segmenting and a great piece of spalted beech to boot.

Not sure if its a shadow on the picture but the fit on the beechwood pen looks a smidgen off centre on the cap. The other one looks spot on.

 

[Penpal]

Love these pens and your pics Alan.

Peter.

Like the Spalted Beech

Nice looking pens Alan, but I think you will find those are the "Empress" pen kits.

Yep - Empress. The Duchess is an ugly piece of shite that makes you wonder why you turn pens (ooops, did I say that highly subjective and contentious thought out loud?)

Nice pens, nice photo Alan.

Yes indeed Kelvin I bought them a good while ago and forgot the name. I knew that they were something to do with titled ladies.
Empress is right

Phil I bought these kits long before I found your wonderful Beaufort pen kits. I had nothing else to turn over the long weekend.
I'll catch you in the long grass

It must have been a shadow or something Eamonn When I looked at the photo closer I saw what you saw and checked the pen. Relieved, here's a better picture

Oh, for the want of a drill bit Alan. Your remark was not wasted on me
