That is one very nice pen Mr.H !
I keep looking at the reflection in the end cap. Were you wearing a Santa outfit when you took this?

Is there something you're not telling us?:thinks::funny::funny:

What a load of rubbish, you are perfectly capable based on the stuff you post here mate, as you will very soon see.

A little later there will be a thread relating to this one where I will explain the reason for being a little coy so far.

It is a lovely pen and even though I have read the other thread and know it was your 11yr old son who made it, it is a really well made pen and finish, I have seen pens that more experienced turners have made that didn't look as good, you should increase his weekly pocket money:devil:
