A pair of Omegas with George Watkins blanks with cones. These are probably the hardest blanks I've ever had a go at and after the third time of crawling around the floor looking for the chunk that blew out I nearly gave up. There were several air holes that had to be filled and fortunately I now have some colouring so dropped a some of that on the fillings which has made them almost invisible. Now that they're finished I'm glad that I didn't give up because they are also probably the nicest non wood pens I've ever made... apart from Brodies of course :thumbs:

Two potential additions to the quiver or the sales table mate they have both other worldly patterns and deep standout colour, love the design sturdy plenty to hold and to see. Top pens well shown all a man could wish.
