Great finish Paul ..but to me it needs to go on a diet. ..
I know what you mean Ed! I just can't bring myself to make thin pens. I need to get help... maybe one of those cd's at bed time. You must turn it thinner, you must turn it thinner...
I'll try again tomorrow.

Lovely wood and finish, Paul. Agree that it's a bit fat - why not make some REAL pens instead? {DUCKS AND COVERS}
Oh, and - don't give up the day-job ... I can't see you as the next Mickey Bubbles!
As the sad Ram said there will never be another Yew.
