A black satin Slimline pen carrying a segmented top barrel using the woods Pau Amarello, Padauk and Blackwood. The bottom barrel is Padauk, the mistake with this pen is that the Blackwood has seeped into the Padauk and darkening it in the barrel blank. The next time i use Blackwood i will save some dust and use it on the bottom blank to help darken it a little. Finished using U Beaut EEE-Ultra Shine Paste Wax and U Beaut Shellawax Cream ..

Ye Olde world effect, modern approach to the top of the pen shows dedication and persistance this style at the join top to barrel needs fusion it gives the impression break off here. I know you realise making this pen this way is a deviation and I commend this up to this part.

Sympathise the amalgamation that occurs when using timbers that migrate and also agree on the masking effect you would acheive on the barrel using the dust.

All of my observations come to naught when a non maker picks up your pen and makes it there own, why membership of a group will always result in two views us and them, after creating for us being able to sell to them is vital if you wish to continue as a business to offset the prime costs plus.

Thanks Jim beaut pen.:thumbs:
