Take a guess
Not my cup of tea, but if you don't try new ideas you never move forward, well done on experimenting.

Certainly looks well made & finished :thumbs:

My impression very different, very interesting use of half and half of more and more reminded me of the highly coloured winter games. Origi:thumbs::rolling::thinks::claps:nal idea brought forward with success mate.

Undecided init?

A fantastic pen because it strikes up a good debate but its definitely marmite. I looked at it a few times before giving a comment because at first I didn't like it but now I've wavered slightly. So here are my thoughts now. I like it because its unusual, very imaginative and funky. I think the bit that I don't like so much is the same wood down the back and would like it with mixed bits everywhere. It is however well turned and finished and will definitely be a seller because many people like different, and it is that. Keep up the good work.

Many thanks for the comments chaps. Tell the truth, I wasn't sure about it initially but I seem to make marmite pieces more often than not. I'm a lover of tradition, but I do like to push the boundaries too, not for the sake of attention, but just because thats how the old grey matter seems to do things.

You work along the same lines as i do Brody, some turn out masterpieces others end up in the bin, but we have to try these things or we don't improve .. Very good effort and thanks for showing .. :thumbs:

And thats a good way to do things Brody, like many of us on here. Trying different things means that sometimes you have big wins but a loss is also a win because you're pushing the boundaries. I applaud you in your tenacity.
