My first post

Hi everyone.

I am new to the forum and after stalking others work for a couple of days I accumulated the courage to post one of my own creations.

It's a Churchill Fountain pen in a turquoise coloured acrylic blank, 12000mm and then treated with an automotive acrylic polish.

The pen is to be a gift for my mother's birthday so I made a box with a laser engraved faceplate; I think it came out quite nice.

Comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Good looking pen and box. I'll bet your mother will love it.

Be sure to check out the library for how to's and the vendor catalogs, great suppliers here.

Excellent pen and box. Looks like you have some pretty good experience at turning.

I love the pen and the box.... But did you have to spell june wrong? or is it suppose to be junie?

Well my family is Afrikaans and in Afrikaans June is Junie.

And thanx to everyone else for the kind words.
