Chakte Viga blank, whose colour I really like (my photography doesn't do it justice) on a gunmetal euro kit.

Finished with CA, a gift for a mate who has just helped me out of a hole.

What woody said but with the spelling corrected.


Man walks into a Dr.’s surgery with a duck on his head. Dr. says, “May I help you?” Duck says, “Yeah – get this idiot off my arse!”

Great call Ed.

Just asked the present Mrs B about a Macro button, it`s her camera I'm only allowed to operate it with specific permission & definitely not allowed to alter settings :blahblahblah:

The upshot (no pun intended) is she has set it up for close ups & this is the result.



A big improvement I think :thinks::thinks:

Thanks mate.

If you like that wood Doug you should try Chak te vaga it turns bright red if you get the right bit some of it can be a bit flat

The combination of both wood and accents go really well together Doug. A very nice pen indeed .. The wood looks a tad similar to Padauk in your picture ... :bwink:


I just read what i wrote back to myself, we don't want two plonkers in the same thread ... :tongue:
