A first attempt at filling Elm Burr with Aluminium powder, ala Woody.

Really lovely Doug, looks great.
It peels off when you have it thick enough on your finger tips, apart from the little bits.
Then i always get the same 'you could wear gloves you know ?' from my lovely wife. She's right but i hate wearing them.

Regards

Pete

Thanks for all the comments.:thumbs:

If it hadn't been for the forum I probably would never tried the infilling, infact I didn't buy the aluminium powder until I went to Turners Retreat during Woody's open day. Just shows what a great place this is for learning & inspiration :bravo::rock:

That is certainly one great looking pen Doug.. You have matched the pen kit and the blank well, with the Ali filling it really hits the mark..

Top notch..:claps:
