Yew Euro 2..JPG

Hi, Guys,

Thought I'd play about with a stick of nondescript yew earlier and came up with this alternative Euro. I discarded the original nib and replaced it with one from a Slimline (I wanted a more tapered bottom to the pen but don't believe it made any difference after all). Since the photo I have run a piece of thread through those three lines above the nib and cleared out the polish residue - this was invisible when holding the pen! Grits to 1800, a wipe with white spirit to clean out & pop the grain, and three coats of friction polish. Gleams like a piece of furniture now!

Bob.

Woody, you syphilictic cretin! Never mind about it not rocking your boat - once I get my submarine fired up I'm gonna sink the bloody thing! Don't rock your boat, indeed, you misbegotten turd!:ave_it::devil::fart::mooney2: LOL, Woody, I know what you mean, mate. I thought I'd have a break from standard style pens and try a bit of artistic license for a change - which is wasted on you!

Thanks, Mr. Taylor - it's nice to have one friend on this channel! LOL!

Having a go I call it Bob be interested in the publics reaction to it looks sturdy and different from the so called non de script description of your stick to a neat blank.

Kind regards Peter.:claps:

Nothing wrong with trying something new Bob, if you happen to sell it then it was well worth the effort of trying something new ... :bwink:

Turd ... Ring ... ????

C'mon, it can't just be me ... ?

Ah well ... Dirty mind, I guess.

I can just hear Dara O'Braian announcing: "Here's good king Woody the 3rd with his ring of fire!"
