You may be fed up with me posting pics of Gentlemens pens, Charimans, call them what you will. But you may be relieved to know I have finished my predicted sales for the year of that pen!

Neil you and your Gentlemens pens I think they are great but the comment I get whenever I make pens of this size is that they are to big.
Why don't you try a few Longwood conversions I've sold 4 since I started making them and the combinations are infinite plus Slimline kits are cheap as chips :banana::banana::banana:
Ps. I love Yew :love_it:

Ian,

I like the look of the longwood pen that you do, it is elegant and yet different from a standard 50/50 pen ( top and bottom barrels same size. However I think the clip is tacky, but I am going to try some shortly. The wife keeps having a go at me for increasing my range but I think I'll make a few and see how it sells, literally just received a package from TB, first of three due this week, this one with 100 chrome stylus slimlines in it so might be a few days before I get round to the longwood - is it Turners workshop you get your kits from?

I do get kits from Turners Workshop but like you I find TB is the best value for money but I am always worried about importing large amounts so do not buy in large quantities I have a small order on it's way at the moment and will probably order some slimelines this week just to carry on converting :banana:
ps what clip would you suggest ?

Nothing wrong with these Neil, you can and should keep them coming .. It is funny that when i read your thread and looked at the picture that the Yew was the pens that really stuck out for me .. Only to see it was said well before me ... :bwink:
