Closed end pen MKII

[paulm]

Having starting to shake through a lack of turning, I escaped for an hour to play and had another go at a closed end pen. This one is made from Padauk and Purple heart with an ebony nib. I need to escape again to make the stand.

Lovely piece of work Paul. Well done!!!!!

Fascinating Paul worth every minute of the time you spent, I have no excuse for shaking it comes with the territory for me.

You must have a lot of patience to construct pens this way.

Kind regards Peter.

Thanks Terry, no I bought one from the states... a pin chuck. I have another I bought from pencrafts uk but I don't get on with that one so well.

Well it was supposed to be Doug but it was just a tad loose so I glued it in to a tube and that pushes into the pen itself.
