Getting back in the shed...

[rowdyyates115]

I have just returned from a really nice holiday with SWMBO after completing a so called 2 week contract which spanned a total of 24 weeks.
Was unable to get much if any shed time, so I am having another go and trying to catch up with all the great ideas from you guys.
While on holiday a guy I meet, commissioned me with making him a 'unique chrome' Fountain Pen. Had a rustle around the shed and found some nice looking Spalted Beech. Turned this onto a Chrome JR, finished with the standard coats of CA.

Welcome Back Rowdy, I missed ya mate.
Lovely pen but watch the cap threads don't shatter, we have had big probs with the thin plastic ones.
