Inspired by Walter

[rayf6604]

After reading Walter's article in Woodturning this month about alternative slimlines I thought I have a go and now I've got another 8 to finish and these are two I tried. Top one is spalted oak and the bottom one is olive ash.

Two well made pens Ray

 

[Penpal]

Ray inspired and suitable timber with grain display both are commanding in their own right departing as they do from the norm. Love the thoughts.

I don't mind really Derek just as long as someone occasionally finds them useful. No point doing it otherwise.

Some great looking character in that piece of timber.
Well done.

Nice pens how do you put in a refill ?

 

[silver]

how do you put in a refill ?

They are known as long wood pens Tom, you only glue the top tube in and pull the refill out by the nib end.

You also propelled the nib by holding the nib and twisting the top.

Have a look at Walters tut, that will help.
