Yew with a Celtic Cross

[Jim]

This is the first time that i used this plastic which i bought last week from a shop in Wakefield which is 1mm thick, all the other white plastic that i have is around 0.9mm which does throw off the cross as the kerf of the bandsaw blade is 1mm ... But i made a mess of this pen by undercutting the nib end a fraction and took away to much wood at the clip end .. Well a mate will be happy with this freebie i hope ...

Lovely Celtic cross Jim. Pity about the nib end as it has spoilt an excellent pen!!!!!

Celtic Cross is lovely Jim, stands out nice from the Yew.
Shame about the nib end.

Just a thought, dis-assemble the nib end and add a bit of the white plastic like a washer. :wink:

Lovely cross, I haven't tried plastic yet. Rowdy's suggestion sounds good with regards to the nib end.
