It's been a Corian couple of days!

[Twissy]

Needed to get my stock levels back ready for a craft fair. Had a load of this Corian lying around so knocked these up.

Smart touch slims:

Slims, Streams and a couple of Barons....quite like the trivalent chrome plating.

Sorry about the pics, on my backup camera.
Cheers

"knocked these up" or "knocked these out"? Two different meanings here in the States.

Either one could get you in the "pen" Jim S

 

[robutacion]

words meanings...???

Nice group of pens there but, I'm a lot more interested in that piece of wood behind the blanks, up above...!!!

What is it, do you have more, can I get some...???:wink::biggrin:

BTW, not too bad for a "Corian" couple of days, as I though that the title meant, "what a $#!t" couple of days...! that was before I read what the thread was about. I'm glad I was wrong...!:wink:

Good luck with the show...!

Cheers

John, great, errrr, dirty minds do tend to take the same path after all.

PS: That is a very fine collection of pens. Congratulations.

Double entendre!

It's so nice to have a chuckle early in the morning!
Unusually for me the other meanings never even occurred to me when I posted!
I think though I would have been in for some ribbing if I'd used knocked out instead of knocked up as that also has another meaning here!
George, you should be able to get some of the wood as it's burled Eucalyptus! I needed an extra stand for a show real quick, and it was on hand. No doubt it will get turned into pens eventually!

Hi John, great group of pens. I have made a few in the past with corian and I like them. Just a note on the wood used for display, is it not Acacia burr? I have quite a bit of Acaci burr and it is exactly like that, I will post some pics. I have never seen any Eucalyptus burr mind you so I might be completely wrong!!

You could well be right Eric. I bought a chunk off Fleabay sold as Eucalyptus. It is very like the stuff I get from Aus, except for those soft spongy bits in it. When I get round to making a pen from it I'll compare it to my Eucalyptus ones.

I did have one crack on me. It's really tough on the skew though. I lost count of the amount of times I sharpened it making this lot! I just like the way it feels cool in the hand, just like granite.
