Ah, the child in me still giggles at that title.

Anyway, I made two Jr Gent rollerballs (:wink:) for friends who have helped me out enourmously over the last couple of years.

One is from Oak which was gifted to me by them, it was found in their first house together, A made it into a CD case, but gave it to me for a little project he wanted me to make for him, and let me keep the rest, turned and finished to remain more natural, just with a coat of friction polish, leaves it still feeling like wood, if that makes sense!

The second is pink ivory, which I love to turn for C who is a primary school teacher, and I'm told her pen now takes pride of place on her desk at work! This one is finished with several coats of CA and polished with my favourite, T-cut.

Been fiddling with taking pictures too, so your feedback would - as always - be appreciated!

Beware! My DIL is a high school teacher. I have made her six pens and every one has been stolen from her school desk!
