Sycamore and Thatchers

[paulm]

Having talked in another thread about Sedona kits today, I thought I'd better use up the kits I've got before the ones come from TB. Here they are; one dressed in Thatchers Cider Tree and the other in Sycamore Burr supplied by David (Lignature).

The photos are different sizes because its late and I'm knackered.

I've never seen sycamore burr it looks really nice, well finished too.

 

[Grump]

Did you use the wrong bushes mate?
Apart from that they damn good looking stuff init?

 

[paulm]

Ha ha, always trying to make them a bit different Brian.

Just getting to like these Sedona's Paul, good job you have made of these two, i know where Brian is coming from, but like you i like to leave more meat round the edges rather than undercutting but to hide it more i just put more of a radius on the ends ..

Good looking and well finished pens my friend ..

Really nice pens, did the sedona's come with a converter and if so does it clear the internal thread?

Hi Peter, yes they have got a converter and are clear of the internal thread.

 

[Buckeye]

Hi Peter, yes they have got a converter and are clear of the internal thread.

That's good to know, maybe Dan can check with his supplier to see if they have a narrower converter, it was the metal part on the converter that touched the thread.

They are beautiful, Paul! Lovely finish!

Peter

This is the converter that was supplied with this kit Peter

 

[Buckeye]

Okay, the one that was supplied from Dan has a band of metal.
