Bought a £30.00 lucky dip off him before I had my op.
Got a total of 20 different exotic species plus P&P ,
Some beautiful looking timbers to work with. Well pleased
Problem I now have is what pen kit to use with what I have got left.
Only one pen per blank using Europeans and slimline or two sierras per blank :thinks::thinks:

These look superb -lovely choice of woods. Which Sierra kit did you choose? I like the gold and light coloured metal it complements the wood.

Kind regards Fiona

Over the Christmas holidays I'll be properly cataloging a few dozen new species and posting a fully updated list early in the New Year. Some real rarities amongst them and plenty for the burr freaks so watch this space...
Nice looking pens, must get into his blanks in the New Year.

Very nicely done. The timbers are very interesting and very stately. They are not over grained and yet they look very rich. I like them alot. Well done and thanks for showing.
