The attached pens were turned using scraps of wood and 'BIC pens'.

Interesting concept: beautiful ornate wood turning together with inexpensive Bic parts. Different for sure, and it creates a unique look. I like the black and stick pens better than the blue and red versions. The blue looks too cheap.

Very nice work David. At a 'pound' they're a bargain even in the name of charity.

Nice execution on the wood. I personally don't care for the plastic - even if the goal is to make them as inexpensively as possible.

Great stuff, well turned. If they are presents for grandkids I'm willing to bet that the red and blue will go down well with them.[^][^][^]

You can use the Character Map tool in windows to paste a #8356; symbol

Hmm when I pasted the pound sterling symbol looked right, even looked right in preview not not after the post actually went in.

#8356

Nice pens by the way, not my cup of tea though.
