Its been piled up and standing at the bottom of my garden since I rescued it from the fire.
I decided to chop a bit up and see what happens. Turns ok but there's lots of holes and cracks to fill up.

You know, if the iPad thingy gets the kids using a " real pen " it's gotta help, them and use.

A lovely looking pen (apart from the pointy pressie thingy). I bought some Mulberry on the weekend which I've cut up and can't wait to have a go, it makes some lovely blanks

Good shape to the pen BS, with some beautifully grained wood, if you have plenty of this wood i can see some very nice pens being produced from it .. :winking:
