Monday Afternoon

[Ruffy]

Spent most of the afternoon cutting blanks and gluing tubes, but then just had to turn one.

Here is my effort a Slimline Cocobolo pencil.

Good looking pencil. Clean shape and the knot turned out to be in a very good place!

Thanks all for the comments.[:I]

Yes the knot does show up on both sides. The funny think was I didn't even notice it was there till I was well under way. So the end result was more A** than Class.

Cocobolo has to be one of the nicest and easiest timbers to work with, tis just a shame about the properties its dust exhibits.

Ruffy,

Great looking pen.
Sometimes it not how much you step in, but how you shake it off that matters!

Beautiful pen. The turner must have a lot of class and a little love in his soul.
