a small batch of recent pens

[davidj44]

One of my occasional posts - recently completed. At last I have managed to complete a coloured pencil pen - this project has been driving me mad. It's not perfect as the discerning will be able to see, but I did get it finished. The wood used in these pencils was like concrete and the coloured leads are easy to dislodge - lots of super glue involved here.

Two very nice pens there David with lots of work in them

The coloured pencil pen is very interesting. Looks like tedious work getting it to the turning stage. Well done David.

Tedious is definitely a good word for the process.

Fair play! They look alright to me. I know these are a bugger to turn but your perseverance has paid off

You've done a good job on those David

 

[Lons]

You've done well with those David, the one I made ended up in the bin 'cos it just looked dirty.

Thanks for all the nice, encouraging comments. These of us who have attempted the coloured pencil pens evidently understand each other! My problem now is that I feel an obsession coming on - I am already thinking about another one ......... - madness lurks out here in the sticks.
