Very nice looking pen Paul, looks like a small lip to the point of the pen end not really flush.,
But well turned and finished & great photography.

Looking good Paul :thumbs:
I have an 8ft X 6" X 3/4" planed board and its got some lovely grain in it :love_it:
I would cut it up into pen blanks, but I don't have a table saw so am contemplating what else to use it for :thinks:

You are very right mr Hawkeye Johnny. In my defence, it was late and I was tired but apart from that, guilty as charged :funny:

I was more interested in my cnc machine at the time Terry. I might take it apart and finish it properly. :thinks::thinks:

Forgetting about the oversized nib end, the finished pen looks good my friend, with the usual top class finish to go with it .. :thumbs:
