Very nice.

I have been asked lots of times if I could make pencils. I have never had any success. I bought a boat load of pencil inserts from a very well known supplier that was supposed to work in all of there kits. But they don,t. I wasted my money. Not the site sponsor by the way.

Like me, you don't make many pens/pencils, but I still enjoy seeing your other turnings keep posting them

I made this for my son who works often in the Cathedral Archives. The wood is very special which like the accompanying Fountain and Ball point pens are all Beaufort Ink.

You cannot beat quality when u need it :banana:
