This is lovely stuff to turn, its so white[8D], but a PITA to try and photograph.[:I]

Nice work Andrew!!

That material is great for wedding pens. In the USA, Ken Nelson engraves them, with gold "fill" - the finished product is really nice.

You probably want an engraver in Europe, but you guys may already know of one.

Hey Andrew,

I love the shape of the pen body...wonderful flow, the finish looks excellent and the fit is a 10 on 10! Super pen!

Speaking of wedding pens, are you ignoring my email?!? []
My eldest little girl is getting married in June [^] and I'm going to need to
make her and her fiance Burke some pens.

Derek, it wasn't his wifes[}]

Looks very sharp Andrew. Did the nail varnish get softened like paint often does when hit with the CA ( I assume thats what you used )?
And did you have to drill a bigger hole to make up for the nail varnish? The pics are damn good too BTW

VERY nice pens and pics[]

 

[mewell]

Very nice indeed!

 

[Glenn McCullough]

PITA or not, fine pics and the pens are top shelf!! well done.

Lovely pen Andrew, the picture is fine and clear![]

 

[UKpenmaker]

Many thanks for the comments folks.[]
Steven, how did you know it wasn't my wifes nail varnish.[][] It did soften slightly with the CA but not much, i normally use epoxy but i haven't got any at the moment. The holes are very slightly bigger also.

I am not much on acrylics but the pen is sharp.

I think that looks excellent! I have some of that white pearl and it makes me want to immediately use it. - Chris
