An Early Christmas Prezzie

[Vic Perrin]

I got a nice parcel in the post today from my mate GeordieB.

5 lovely Black Locust Burr Blanks.

I had to turn one straight away to see what they looked like.

This is an Elegant Beauty Australiana. I will be sending the pen up to Bill Mooney for Blind Veterans from Geordie and Me.

Nicely done Vic, amazing the difference of a turned blank next to an unturned one, oh what further beauty lies beneath.

Very nice Vic, and very generous Geordie

 

[Bill Mooney]

Thank you Vic & Geordie. Another very nice gesture.

 

[Dalboy]

Nice one Vic and some great looking blanks that you have been sent

 

[Phil Dart]

Well done both. (but an infraction for you Vic for mentioning Christmas in October)

 

[bluntchisel]

Yeah, that's a winner - nice work! And your generous gesture is also good!

Ok, now your just rubbing it in.

Looks great!
With the over extension of the refill tip, looks like the blank is a bit too short?

Les could I be so bold as to say I prefer and plan for a little more extension, much rather have that than too short. The test is only if it retracts fully for carrying in the pocket.

The blank was machined to the exact length of the tube And the tube was not shortened any during the trimming process. It does look as if it sticks out a bit but it fully retracts back into the nib end. I have always preferred a good sticky out bit
