Olive Americana

[chas_41_uk]

Yesterday I managed to grab some shed time, well most of the day.
One of the projects I did was to make this Americana Twist pen dressed in some Olive wood Neil Lawton gave me.
Finished with a couple of coats of Friction Polish and Microcrystalline Wax

It's a cracking pen, I haven't seen that kit before, at least I don't think so.

Lovely wood and turning Chas but I am not sold on the kit to be honest !!!

Very nice Chas well turned and finished these are part of the artisan collection I find they look better if you turn them fatter towards the C/B

The kit comes from Axminster. Also available from Craft Supplies in the USA. As the packaging says Dayacom on it, I assume they manufacture it.

*Definitely an artisan it has the A on the centre band and the clip and Axminster list it as artisan

Correct on both counts Woody

Maybe just a tad fatter on the bottom barrel Chas .. But looks a nice pen overall my friend .. Woody, is this what the Americans call the "Flat Top"

A lovely piece of wood on a nice kit but I think it would look better as Woody says with more at the cb and maybe a bit less at the nib end. Thats just my opinion though and it still looks good as it it.

Nice pen Chas ..but as others have said ...a bit more beef on the lower barrel .
