Laburnum & Blackwood

[Doug]

I've often admired Jim's slimline pens where he discards the kits centre band & uses another material so whilst gluing up a few bits last week I glued a small off cut of Blackwood to a Laburnum blank.
I like how not using the centre band allows for a thicker slimline that doesn't have a strangled waist, this won't be the last I make like this, finished with friction polish & Hutt wax.

I like this same sentiments but I also like centre bands.

I have been doing that for years with slimlines. It opens up design many opportunities. Your pen is quite nice.
