After a drive to Blackburn this morning I spent the rest of the day in the shed and produced 4 streamline pens :thumbs:

Only problem is I don't know what wood the first three are :rolling: They were being sold by Linconshire Woodcraft as a mixed bag of blanks at the Newark show last month

The last one was made from a blank one of you generous guys gave me at Newark. I think it was Oak. I have replaced the central band with a piece of Cocobola.

Nice ones Chas. I would say that the first one is Holly, the second could be Wych Elm, the third might be oak and the fourth I can only guess at Birch.

Did I win a prize?????? :funny:
