Hi, guys,

Here's a piece of Woody's mottled apple in a Euro. A doddle to turn but watch out for "frayed" ends! Grits to 1500, and three coats of heat polish.

Thanks, Woody!

I like that a lot but not sure about Euro centre bands. Have you had a go at making your own Bob?

Thanks, Paul, Yes, I have, but not done much towards doing any, but I do see where you are coming from. One reason I've always wanted to do my own c/bs is to make a pen "fatter" from about the middle up to the clip. One day...

Bob.

Ed, you're a saucy bugger! Southern softie, indeed! I'll have you know that I once ate three Mars bars in one sitting - and was only sick twice:love_it::love_it::love_it:

Well done Bob, not to worry about adding more lard to your pens, this one looks like it has plenty of Beef to feed the family ... Nicely turned my friend ... :bwink:
