I answered an ad,bought a batch of this beautiful timber in blank form,sorted selected and made sure it was sound and dry,stored for years.Cut ,brassed,trimmed and sleeved. Turned and measured and measured and turned. Cleaned and finished and fitted. Was given the wrapping paper by my better half or rather I begged her for one sheet,put it on my photo set up left it there waiting for what I thought was an appropriate time. Voila it came and was used,I am glad I bothered. Four pics to show all round,nothing to hide. I confess there are so many proceedures involved and I did take part in making this beaut pen.Recently charged the battery in the Camera I use for Pen Pics. Went through my purchased Pen Kits and selected one I liked before turning so I could measure the blank through the process before assembly from the actual kit itself. Tongue in cheek John you taking the p...i..ss mate, nothing is casual altogether in this life. Now to make that special present when the time comes.
Kind regards Peter.
