The gold accent certainly compliments the thuya nice choice.

 

[paulm]

Thanks all for the great comments... Bob, why don't you make the?

Hi, Paul,

The Empress is a big, nice-looking pen, as are others similar in style, but they are not fitted with a thread to put the cap in place when in use. This means that the pen can roll onto the floor if left on a table, etc., or you could lose the cap. I would not buy one myself because of this, so wouldn't find any enthusiasm making and selling them. Probably an Age Thing, matey! Despite my comments I still like the look of 'em, and yours is no exception!

Bob.

Thanks Jim. I would have made it a while ago but yet again its another drill size needed so I had to order one. It came this morning and couldn't wait to knock one up.
