Nicely done Tom, the top one is a Jnr Gents mate. The Gentleman's is much larger and I think non postable, more a desk pen than a pocket pen.
Unless of course you a Norvener wiv big hands and bigger pockets init?

Two very nice pens Tom.:thumbs:
I used a lot of yellow pine in the pattern shop & it's a lovely timber. The problem with yellow pine is it is soft & prone to bruising & marking easily.

Morning Tom two more from Cornwall where part of my family came from that led me to find out a lot of history indeed one of our daughters has visited a bit recording the streets churches baptismal fonts, coastline some of the buildings they constructed as a stonemason family who immigrated in the 1840,s to South Australia apparently they dabbled in sea side activities.

Using two opposite timbers one softish and easy to turn and a pine as well as Walnut that requires a lot more finishing you have made two fountain pens so the experience grows. How did they write when you tested them mate?

My screen does not allow me to see too clearly that means from here they look great but little detail they shape up well and as first in my viewing today set the standard for other posts.

Thanks for showing Tom as so many have said two good pens so far 38 members have viewed them well done..

Peter.:thumbs::thumbs:
