Lovely shape and the finish is spot on top quality.

On your way to your first million now. Remember us when you are at the top! :winking:

£30 is far too cheap in my humble opinion, but then again I have only ever sold 5 pens :goesred:

then you are 5 pens ahead of me lol...ive not sold anything...i give it to family or my wife commandeers it...but the young lady who asked my to make it works in a local corner shop for minimum wage, so i just charged a cursory amount...the wood was free so it was just my time she paid for...im ok with it, maybe another commission will come from it, who knows :thumbs:

Still too cheap :whistling:

Try to remember your first sale :banana::banana::banana: (not too difficult for me as my first purchased 5 pens, not sold a thing since :funny: )
