These are for an order. They are Bocote Gold Titanium Churchills. The blanks were cut from the board adjacent to each other so as to match each other as closely as possible. One is a rollerball and the other is a fountain pen. Like Cocobolo, you have to love Bocote!

BTW, Gerry you don't have to scroll. ;)

Wonderfull pens Cav. I just might have to break down and try this pen some day.
Just really don't want to add another pen line.
 
Nice, I dont dig the kits but the knots in the lower part of the barrel seem to complement the rounded lower end.
 
Chuck,

Thanks for the compliment. If you don't mind, where do you get your kits and such to make duck calls? Also, how much skill is needed to set the reed correctly? I have been wanting to get into duck and goose calls.

TIA,
 
Hey Cav,
NICE pens!!

What do you use to finish bocote and cocobolo?

And do you prep with an acetone "rinse"?

Enquiring mind needs to know![:D][:D][:D]

No, I only wash my hands at work, not in the shop.[;)]

PM later,

Cav
 
Don't mind Cav you Brits, he's elephant from the neck up!![:D][:D][:D]

(This is a brain reference, not a political statement, Jeff!!!!)
 
Old Boston lad are you William?? I think revenge on the Tea Party by keeping all the good kits is a bit harsh though. We did give Mr Bush a lap dog, isn't that payment enough?[}:)][:)]

ROTFLMAO!!!

Actually, I've only visited Boston once since it is in "The People's Republic of Massachusetts." I just couldn't resist being a smart a$$. Somehow, being a smart elephant just doesn't have the same zip to it!

Ed, does this mean that my brain is the size of a peanut, or that I am afraid of mice? [;)]
 
Those are sweet - I like the match of pen style and the Bocote. The Bocote you have is superb!!

Add me to the list that hasn't tried Churchills but now needs to....gee, more bushings!! Do I get to buy more odd sized drill bits too??? Sorry, I didn't really say that! [:p]
 
Thanks for the kind words, Rick. I found that Bocote board in a pile of wood at a show in Harrisburg, PA, and have gotten some great blanks from it. Even better, I have only used about half of it!

Yep, you will need new drills, bushings, and a "B" mandrel to turn the Churchills. If you have done an El Grande, you already have what you need as the tubes, etc are the same for both kits. The only thing is that the drill recommended by Berea for the cap is too small. BB and Ernie at Beartoothwoods sell a 13.3mm drill that is perfect for the cap.

FWIW.
