After making a couple of bowls I thought I'd try a pen again. I haven't been very successful lately making pens as I have cracked a few blanks. I put this down to numbness in my fingertips which is a side effect of the chemo that I've had. Well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it !!! LOL
The blank was given to me by our lost friend and master of the unorthodox our very own Brody Lambden,

The kit is Dan's Rhodium Zeta with one of Phil Darts refills which make a great combo.!!!

Even though I think the blank is awful, you deserve a well done mate.

That's a beauty and be careful you don't leave any of your numb fingertips on the pen, at least wipe them off before the photos:whistling:

Terry that pen means business it has a Shark like appearance streamlined and ready for action. You used a neat slight curve in the blank sympathetic blank love the nose shape of it overall fit for anything the biro change cannot be seen but sounds good on the resume.
