Vine

[paulm]

I've been working in my shed all day making shelve for the wood so that I can create room to put the planer thicknesser that David (Jim Jam) kindly sold me yesterday at a bargain price but I had to have a break so made pen. This is from vine ivy that was growing up an Ash tree.

I've been trying to add extra shine to the finish by using water like I used to when bulling my boots in the mob.

Great pen Paul and the finish looks good to me

That looks simple Paul.

Polish certainly come up with a gloss, looks like your years of training to polish the boots has finally paid off..

Novel idea Paul and it seems to have worked !!!!

 

[Jim]

I believe you could make a pen look good from a boot lace Paul, I like this very much ..

 

[Jimjam66]

Very nice, Paul! You are very imaginative in your choice of materials and it pays off!

Really great, when I saw the title I thought it was grape vine, it's amazing all the every day stuff we see around us that can be used for pens.

Its amazing what you can make a nice pen from Paul, certainly worth the experiment there!

Glad you got a P/T organized, keep us imformed of how you get on.

Good job on that one Paul and you've certainly got a shine on it. Well done for the ingenuity too.
