I made this out of a lovely piece of English yew after having a conversation with a friend who begged me to make a pen using a light shade of wood. This one seemed to tick the box and as soon as he had seen the photo he rang up and bought it!

I’m afraid yet again its a mirror finish from me and just plain wood! I really do love the colour of English Yew.

I love yew as well Nick, both the dark and white versions. Its a very uninspected type of wood, should be used more. Well done mate, that was very nice and finished good.
