I only started using acrylic about a year ago. I had some blanks from Axminster which where 15mm sqare and was a bit dubious at first. All pens before that are wood in slimline, Streamline and Sierra pens. As I only started doing craft fairs just before Christmas and only done two. Then as you know I stopped due to the cataracts. I bought a file recently which held 48 pens so that is full of pens either wood or layered wood....
So think I have a good selection. Was thinking of doing a fountain pen in Yew, possibly purple heart and one in acrylic...... also done two Jetstream in Purpleheart and Zebrano wood....
Will have to look at instructions for the Omega as I think a parts missing but have never done one before...........
So think I will have enough for the fair on Saturday.....

[QUOTE="Tom.1946, post: 371530, member: 2382"] I only started using acrylic about a year ago. I had some blanks from Axminster which where 15mm sqare and was a bit dubious at first. All pens before that are wood in slimline, Streamline and Sierra pens. As I only started doing craft fairs just before Christmas and only done two. Then as you know I stopped due to the cataracts. I bought a file recently which held 48 pens so that is full of pens either wood or layered wood.... So think I have a good selection. Was thinking of doing a fountain pen in Yew, possibly purple heart and one in acrylic...... also done two Jetstream in Purpleheart and Zebrano wood....
