Every single one of them is class Roy. I don't know if they've changed it now but the Empress fountain pen had a hole that was too small for cartridges to fit through and most refills. If it still is then let me know as I have some that will fit.

You are getting real good at this game Roy. Excellent work and thanks for showing !!!!

Glad to help Roy. I've see that they've reduced them to £6.45 inc VAT at the moment which if the cartridge fits, it as good price, I was surprised at just how many people like the bling so are worth having a few for sale.

I enjoyed making it, but drilling such big holes is still a real struggle for me ,there isn't much room for error

Nice pens, never heard of Milkwood before, where did you get the blank? Well done on catching the green/purple division in the Yellow Poplar.

Nee Naw, Nee Naw, Nee Naw... Don't worry Roy, I'll visit you.

 

[Matt]

The Tree police??? is that Special Branch????

Good turning Roy and lovely blanks

Yup, they're definitely after you.

Just as well is wasn't Tambootie, the royal wood of the Zulus. The king of the Zulus has put a death wish/curse on the wood so that anyone who touches it without his Royal consent will die, and apparently, pretty damn quickly. However, and much to the insurance companys relief and the wife's despair, I have survived this evil curse, and suspect that you too, may evade the tree police.

Looks an interesting wood, tough, used for boatbuilding amongst other things.

Some nice pens there Roy
I have an Empress in the shed waiting to be made up and yes there is very little room for error when drilling :pray:
