Nothing wrong with that at all Neil. I don't know what's right or wrong for sure but I always line the grain up on my pens when the nib is retracted.

Now now Phil don't do yourself out of credit mate. It's a great coloured kit, the pen is well turned and a nice shape and you've finiahed it without bleeding the black from the spalting into the light.
Pretty good in my book!:thumbs:

I always do it the other way, because when it is not in use nobody sees it, it's in a pocket, a bag or a pen box.

What a load of rubbish... That's the comment above of course......

Top marks Neil, it's up to any of our standard on here and you have done a superb job of it..

I like the kit and how it's matched with the spalted beech..

Only my opinion..:thumbs:
