Hi All,
I don't often make wood pens anymore as I really still struggle to get a good finish. This is satin longwood kit with slimline tubes.
The ends near the nib and clip cap were done on the lathe and the rest of the shape was done with a router. The centre bands are aluminium plates CA'd to the wood. I tried to recess the stock clip along one ridge. I'm reasonably happy with the whole thing but the finish is rubbish.
PS. I know there is no comparison but No prizes for guessing who's work inspired this one
