Greetings from Oregon

[roseandthistlecustom]

Rose and Thistle Custom is Josh and Rose, we both make pens, knives, bowls, beadwork, kydex, boats etc.
All the pens in the pictures were made by us and the handles on several of the knives. We've been making custom knives since 1995 and started on pens in about 2012.

Our goal right now is to start making "kitless" pens.
I look forward to getting to know you all.
Josh

Nice work Joshua

I like the one on the left the most although are those fine split lines near the clip? Dryout or pressure from the insertion of the hardware?

Just the grain. Thought about filling it with CA but the paduk I've done before with just paste wax has been very happy with handling and aging.
