Hello everyone,

At this time of the year, everything is golden, so I followed the fashion. In fact, I tried to imitate a Chinese lacquer.
I first turned a bog oak pen, the wood has been buried in 3000 BC. Turning such an old wood is a rather special feeling...
Then I added metals, also coming from underground: I gilded the pen with 23 kt gold leaf and bronze leaf, I spread some silver and bronze powder. I CAd and polished it until I got a beautiful shine.

C&c welcome!

Just the most special of pens Pierre.Throwing away so many established methods seems to be the normal with you and it has provided a winner in this tremendous pen.The tendency for slimmer pens makes this one so outstanding in its difference,character and design.50 times better than imitation Cigars etc. Total Christmas wishes to you and yours from ours mate.

Peter.
