Hello all, thought I'd post an update on today's efforts. I made my next three pens (numbers 4,5 & 6) and had a go at a CA finish. Apart from sticking the barrels to the bushings and my fingers to the kitchen towel it didn't go too bad!
The woods are Salmon Elm burr, Tambotie & Elm burr (thanks Lignaterrae) all on slimline kits.

That much I know, I've already spent what seems like a fortune on getting set up but my list of "must have tools" grows ever longer!

Matt the timbers look great the design is pleasing happy for you enjoying the journey.

Looks to me like pushing the software sharpen button a little too far the edges get a furring when this happens. Overall three beaut pens mate.

Peter.
