Thank you for featuring my pen on the front page. I very much appreciate it.
Cheers

Man that is nice! How do you shine up the threads without damaging them? I starting making bespoke and I can polish pretty good. Just don't know how to so the threads without causing damage.

Hi, and thank you.
I don't polish the threads at all. Its all about cutting them nice and clean to start with. Took a bit of practice (and a bin full of blanks) but thats the key to it!
Cheers

Magnificent! That tortoiseshell is beautiful. New to bespoke turning. What taps/dies did you use? Oh, and what was the nib?
Thanks
Dan
