3 Sierras

[paulm]

I knocked out 3 Sierras today; one Bubinga, one Sapelle and one Thatchers. The thatchers had a split and I got lazy when turning it and knocked a large part off. Normally this would matter but I got lazy and used too much accellerator which boiled the ca and was too lazy to cut it out and have another go. I think age is catching up with me.

What I do with pens that done come up to scratch is I put them in a box and sell them for £5 as seconds and whenever someone buys a pen they can buy one of my seconds. Every time I've got seconds they get snapped up but they have to buy a proper pen too.

They all look good to me mate, I am really taking a liking to them satin kits or is it just the way you display them?

Lookin good mate. Very enterprising idea that. The Bubinga is just chuffing gorgeous

They all look OK from here
Really good idea selling seconds at a knock down rate. An ideal way of getting rid of those fails we all have

Nice pens Paul! You hid most of the Thatchers mess under the clip - neat idea!

Very nice Paul. I think this pen making lark is starting to get the better of me I haven't turned a bowl for a while now!

Satin, yuch, looks like undercoat. Where did you get those kits from, looks like the centre bands are a bit flat??

I know what you mean Brian, they're starting to grow on me too.

Ha ha, I'm not telling you Neil because you'll laugh at me but I guess you know anyway
