Had my first go with burr pen blanks today from Aussie Burr's.

Fitted to an Epsilon and a Zeta kit. 2 coats of sanding sealer then 2 coats of paste wax and a final 2 passes with a carnuba wax stick.

Also managed to do a slim line pencil kit in yew. with a golfing club clip for a friend.

Well done Freck, Zeta is spot on, nice fit and finish.

The Epsilon and slimline look a little overturned on the nib end, looks like a very small lip.

The slimline looks a nice shape, but the photo shows a little change in colour just below centre band. Might be photo or could be the way it was polished, not quite covered it all.

But three great looking pens all the same.:thumbs:

Thanks for the feedback Eamonn, I think I need to leave them slightly prouder to compensate for any extra sanding(my toolwork requires more practice!!!).
