Lovely pen Terry well done mate. You made that burr look good on this pen.
I didn't buy anything at the weekend, picked up a few bits just for the sake of getting something but the queue was to long for the few bits I had so I put them back.
There wasn't really anything I want or don't already have, not impressed with Turners Retreat. Had a great time though nice to meet you all.

Terry,

The Roman Harvest you have made is Royal in aspect, the Gold emphasises the deep timber colour, your finish is superb. I liked the way you stacked the two parts in the second picture, very explicit. That nib is broadish not the least bit skimpy so the total effect is such to enable a balanced beautiful writing instrument. IMHO your choices created a strong/ outstanding example of that fine kit.

Kind regards Mate. Peter.

Believe it or not Doug I did it all with a 1in roughing gouge. I stabilised the thuya with ca to be on the safe side!!!!!
