As promised on my introduction thread, here are my "attempts"

slimline pen with some nondescript wood from B Q,


bullet pen in gunmetal with mahogany.

Pens are ok but don't like the tinting or whatever it is, just my opinion!

For a first attempt they're excellent especially the bullet pen. I had to adjust the monitor for the colours on the slimline

Yes well done.

 

[Grump]

A huge well done on your first efforts,
The top left looks like it could be laburnum which is a lovely wood without staining.
Top marks for experimenting at this early stage.
