Bit of an eclectic mix of materials but practising and enjoying

Have done quite a few Omega's but all been snapped up by kids so no photos bar the acrylic one shown. Bad photos i know :sob: yes that is my thumb :sob:

Woods are Spalted Hadkberry River Red Gum Beeswing Narra Cocobolo. King Cocobolo

Acrylic on Omega is Earth's Core. Ordered some blanks from Brody so will need some more kits now Dan

Bit like golf - if it was easy it wouldn't be as much fun

Thanks all for the help and encouragement received. Andy :thumbs:

Some very nice pens Andy, i particularly like the 2nd from the left, it is carrying a very nice blank indeed which i surmise to be the Spalted Hackberry .. :thinks:

Thanks all. Praise indeed given what you all produce.

Yes Jim, the Hackberry didn't look so good on the Omega but seemed to suit the smaller pen really well. Tried differ thicknesses of barrel and found slimmer was better so the Hackberry may be getting a haircut !:thumbs:

They are fab-u-lous for a first set of pens.

I wish mine had looked like that :sob:

Onwards and upwards and I have a feeling we're going to see some really stunning stuff from you in the not too distant future, if that's how you've started.

:claps:
