A few in Oak

[AllenN]

Our local pub has been undergoing a superb restoration including the fitting of oak panelling and a lot of bespoke oak furniture. I managed to scrounge a few off cuts and have made a few pens out of it, including a fountain pen for the owner. I won't bore you with pictures of all of them but here are a few. Finished in Craft Coat ( before I read Walter's caution about it) with a bit of micro crystalline wax just for display. The others have all been snapped up so I must be doing something right.

A nice trio of well finished pens Allen ..

A guy today gave me some Oak cut offs from some of the large pieces that he bought from a Church renovation, he said that it was over 100 years old, but no proof of this ..

Smashing job you have done with that nice timber Allen..

Allen fine examples of real pens, the first pic intrigued me seeming impossible layout. I tend and use burl offcuts because they provide a hold for angled pens.

I join with others to say they are the finest Oak pens I have seen. I am sure Oak is dense enough to create its own patina with use.

They look very nice Allen, I think oak is underrated for pen turning and these show why we should use it more often, they look like real bits of wood, they look well finished but I feel as if I could still get splinter of of them.
