As this seems to be the fashion now, my boys asked if I'd make some pens for their teachers, and classroom assistants. So that's 5!

There's imitation ivory on a copper slimline, London plane on an antique brass slimline, green plastic slimline, green and orange plastic on a gunmetal slimline.

The last one is holly, coloured with spirit stain in the school colours, this is a special one for my 6 year old's favourite teacher, Miss Holly! He's got a little soft spot for her [emoji7][emoji7][emoji7][emoji7]

Thanks for looking!

Gav recently Woody commented on pens made from this material and I commented the reaction I have observed when woman in particular handle a white Corian pen their eyes glaze a little or a lot and they tend to caress the pen. They are all caressable cand neat interested to hear how they are received they are beaut examples of neat pens.

Kind regards Peter.:thumbs:

As ever thank you all for your lovely comments!

According to my wife there are parents arriving with bunches of flowers, bottles of wine, boxes of chocolates and massive cards!

And I won't lie, Miss Holly is not too damaging to the eye!:thumbs::thumbs:

They were delivered yesterday and very well received, one teacher told my wife to tell me how clever I was.......:goesred:
