Cheers Eamonn, you obviously didn't see the. 338 I posted prior:whistling::whistling:
George used to be one of the few casters who did hybrids and he had learnt a lot along the way, I am always happy to pay a premium if I know I am getting quality.... Something a lot of people forget and charge good money for inferior goods....
More wood coming soon:thumbs::thumbs:

I did see it but as you had posted a “straight” pen I thought I would comment on your risk due to the fact of turning just the one pen! :funny:

Yes, many people miss the fact of charging the right costs for the appropriate blanks/finished pen. We seem to often underestimate ourselves too often as end up underselling what we do. I’m probably the worst at it at times.

But hey, love doing what I do and if I get repeat custom it’s all good. By the way, you haven’t been back since the last one you brought.:rolling:…..:funny:
