Dayacom Jr. Gent 2 in London Plane

[Buckeye]

At long last this Pen is finished, it has been a bit of a saga. Eamonn Kindly sent me this so long ago that I have forgotten when. I have had the tubes on the lathe 3 or 4 times and twice I couldn't find the kit to measure the fitting, my wife having tidied it away. I have sanded through the CA finish down to the wood twice and I am so pleased that I have finished it. The wood is London Plane which is also from Eamonn and it's the only piece I have ever had so I chose that for this pen, although he did send me so many other blanks. Thank you Eamonn and I am really sorry that it has taken so long to come up with the finished pen.

I included the 2nd photo to show the CA finish is done properly:wink:

Now that actually looks like a Jnr Gent should do.
Lovely job on that Peter well done, worth the wait i think.
Coincidentally I have one of Eamonn's blanks on the lathe at the moment.

That looks the dogs danglies Peter, up to your usual high standard as well.. and you have done it proud..

It would be nice to see a comparison with the TB Gent to see what you think of it.

No, there is no chip out. You can see from the first two photos the same area that you think the chip out is in.

Thanks.
