Here is part of my Collection of Hand made Fountain pens.
All hand turned using Exotic Timbers.
Stand was made using a Olivewood Chopping board

Pens are nice yea bla bla bla

Lets talk pen stand and that wood. You say chopping block. where did you get the chopping block of olive wood with that figure??? That is beautiful.

Oh yea the pens are real nice. I was just kidding. Now you say decade so I am assuming this was an evolution of yours as you progressed in the fountain pen field??

Chopping boards were off a UK company selling them as seconds,
bought 10 and have made 2 pen stands and have over 100 pen blanks and still have 2 to cut up or make more stands. The word Decade refers to multiple of ten items not years

Very nice figure to all of the pens and chopping board. I would not tend to chop on it more like hold onto it for that kind of project

The pens are beautiful, and would look great even in a plain white setting. But I agree with John on the stand, it's gorgeous, and a very classy way to show off your lovely work. Well done sir!

The Nouveau Sceptre and Art Deco are two of my favorite pen kits and you've matched them up with some beautiful woods. That's a collection worth crowing about and the stand is the icing on the cake!
