my first Jeff powell blank

[George Watkins]

Hello folks

I've wanted to try one of these blanks for ages- i'm so pleased i have and i've decided to keep this pen as my own- the first pen i've ever kept!!!

I think you guys call these a jnr retro..... over here they have a few diffrent names!! anyway black tn with 10.5 and 12.5 tubes

I just turned my first Jeff Powell blank and it turned easily and came out fantastic like yours. That is a keeper as I think mine may be as well.

You did a great job with that blank. Jeff has awesome blanks and they turn like a dream. You did him proud. I'd keep it too!

Beautiful work George! It looks absolutely perfect, one of my favorite blanks too. Now you know..the blank only looks a little intimidating, but is far from it.

Nice job Geoge. I really likes the look of this one. I wish I could say the same but my first one "blew out" on me last night

That's very unusual. These blanks are tough like nails, but soft like butter. What do you use to spin it and how fast?
