Found this wood in the garden ages ago.

Couldn't tell you what it is but it made quite a nice pen. I love the natural look with all the holes and divots still there.

No I didn't Kevin. It's been sitting near my shed in the dry for ages so I made sure it was absolutely bone dry and decided to spin it up and see what happened. I've made 3 slimlines now and hopefully tomorrow my Epsilons and Zetas will arrive so I can try it on a couple of those.

Well done Steven. I like this stories of pens being made out of what otherwise may be disposed off or left to rot.
Lovely looking pen with good proportions.
Cheers
