Teal CoolMint Fountain Pen

[ValleyBoy]

I made this pen with centre-bands on the cap. Not the first time I’ve done this but it’s the first one for a while.

My preferred method for doing this is by thinning down the area near the opening and then adding the required sleeves and rings to give the effect. Margins are fairly tight and it would be challenging to do on a wood lathe but not impossible I’m sure.

All the metal is sterling silver apart from the chrome plated pocket clip.

Cheers
Ash

Thanks Alan. Congrats on the 6 nations - World Cup next? It’s a definite possibility if the squad can stay fit. Exciting times.
Of course, as a Welshman, I prefer football now

Ash, I thought that you were becoming a wanna be Irishman as you have been showing a lot of green and orange pens of late!!!
Anyway..... Ireland always seemed to have peaked before previous world cups and never advanced much past the pool stages.
If they advance then their first knockout game will be against New Zealand or France.

Well Alan, my grandfather did once share a lift with a woman from Cork so I’m taking that
I think it’ll be between those three teams with the Boks always capable of raising their game when needed.
I’ll be going over to Bordeaux to drink some wine whilst some rugby is happening in the background. Should be fun…

That would have been enough to qualify you to play football for Ireland when Jackie Charlton was in charge !!!
