Well, a something of a dilemma. It's rarely happened in the past, but this week we have a tie for first place, so I guess it falls to me to cast a deciding vote.
Both pens are excellent for their different reasons in my view, and I find it hard to split them. However, Ash has occupied the front page for the last five wins, (and I know he's a really nice bloke and won't mind a bit), so I don't believe I'm acting out of turn by awarding first place to [MENTION=2251]irtuk[/MENTION] for his winning pen http://www.penturners.co.uk/acrylic-turned-pens/24655-number-ten.html
It's a beautifully made custom pen in my opinion, and is the latest incarnation of the shape and design that Ed has been developing and honing over the past several weeks.
Congratulations therefore go to Ed, whose pen will will feature on the Forum's front page until the next winner is decided.
