That's really nice Johnny, nice bit of wood and up to your usual standard mate.

I'm sure someone will pop in and say "nicely done", but drop the props...

Neat pick up on the chopstick rest Johnny, love the overkill rests in the first picture I fully expect they would support a Samurai Sword as well. Is that Turkish Olive wood mate it is so deep and beautiful.Incredible grain that is a first for me to see in Olive,matched into that kit forever beautiful.My big problem taking pics is getting the pen to stay in position.I always prefer to extend the refill in pictures as well,it tells another story and completes the pen IMHO.

Thanks Peter, The Olive is from North Africa, Tunisia i am led to believe. They do have a lovely figuring . The first Picture is a bit of overkill with the rests LOL
Hope you are keeping well and like you , keeping the pen still is indeed a challenge.

Nice, nice, nice. It is a really good looking pen. Nicely turned sir.

I usually use a very small blob of white-tack to steady things.

That’s very nice Johnny mate. I quite like the chopstick rests, did you make them?

Beautiful Pen. Love the wood blank used for this one. Certainly brings out the elegance of the pen.

Lots of character in that well turned and finished piece of timber.
Nicely done.
