Spalted Pens.

[kkwall]

Hi All,


Was looking through my off cuts, and came across this spalted Cross Cut elm Piece. It was very dry, and I thought it would blow out when I put it on the lathe. A corner split of when I turned it on the barrel trimmer.

However, It turned out pretty good.

Also finished a Spalted beech fountain. Fit on th lid aint bad, but it still could be better. ( Still waiting for the micrometer to come Mark)

Lovely woods turned into nice writing instruments.

kenny, nice work. i'm curious how you liked that 'classic' gel roller? i've done only one of them and i had a few issues with it... not the kit, my own ineptitude... []

edit in... i now see that it's a fountain... it looks just like the gel kit!

Thanks everyone,

Andrew - I think the basic kit is the same just a different nib end. It is a nice change to the classic fountain that I have been doing. It is around 2cm's shorter also.
