Sorry about the green mat and the quality of the photo's
I would have shown these a few days ago but a certain person purloined the Elm one and I hid the horn one from her cos I intend to give her it for her birthday (21 again)

The left one is Elm and the other is horn



Elm from my days of working in the woods. It was beginning to become worm eaten and I managed to get the best of it for this pen.
Finished with C.A. a tube of polish from my motorcycling days and a layer of wax


I got the Horn from Boddy's on my way home from a visit to The freeman Hospital for my review.
Polished with fine sand paper and T cut finished off with some wax polish


They had a lot of bags of horn, I spent a while choosing the best bag wish I had got two bags now.
They were selling off a lot of stock at the time from the shop. It's not the place it use to be.

Thats a lovely pair there Smokey, I'm not normally keen on the horn ones but that is exceptional.

Well smoky I have to be honest that is the best bit of horn I have ever seen turned normally I don't like it but that one sure is the business well done

Be en said all before, I like them but as you say the background looks a bit square..

Keep it up, and now it's the compo for you..

Thanks everyone for you comments.
The Horn one surprised me, I had not expected it to come up with such a variation of colours in it. It was the first time I had used so much horn in on go as a pen. I have several pieces of horn left but am waiting for my order from Timberbits to arrive before I use any more.
