New Click Pen and Nuts

[Gadget-UK]

NOT great photos but this was for a specific order.
A very good client of my sons specifically asked for "Beech Tree Pods" set in Blue/White and it had to be a click pen.

Not an easy task

The nut pods the client gave us, they came from a tree on his land.
after stabilising, casting and then turning this was the end result...





I was really pleased with the way the pen turned out, going to turn another for the client with the inside of the blank painted a light blue.
This one you can just see the brass tube through the white acrylic

Colin, you did a lot of work to achieve those lovely looking pens.
I hope your son appreciates what you achieved.

Nice Job Colin, lovely looking blanks. To be honest with you, I do not like to see hands holding pens in pictures, but that’s just me.

I understand John
Though as I said in the top post this was just after I made it to show my son.
My wife has this one, (she really liked it) I didn’t think it was spot on (you can see the brass tube).
I will make another this weekend and take some “Proper” photos

This was just to show what the pen looks like
