Corkscrew from a "Lava Explosion" blank.

I had trouble finding a corkscrew kit that could be turned on a pen mandrel and had to go to PSI across the pond.
Teamed it up with a "Lava Explosion" blank, on its way to a customer in France.

It's certainly a great corkscrew:thumbs: and I am sure the kits would sell well if they were available here.

I went on a vineyard tour a couple of years ago and picked up some pinot noir roots they would go great with those kits, although not as colourful as that lovely blank you have used.

"Stiles and Bates" did have them but were out of stock, when I spoke on the phone the gent on the phone mentioned a revised version should be out in February17!!!
