Pen Cabinet!

[kkwall]

Hi All,


As I am planning a move overseas, I wanted to take an item with me made in local wood. Spoke to my local supplier, and he gave me some really nice Spalted beech, with a thick top to match. The handles I turned out of African Blackwood!

Worked out a design, and with the help of Serge's tutorial on "Pen Display cases" (thanks again Serge!) I managed to produce something I am very happy with.


It's certainly a keeper!

Before anyone else say's it. Yes I know there are a lot of pen blanks in that cabinet!!!!!

I agree, a very nice piece[]
Mark if I remember correctly from an old post, Ken mentioned Oz?

Thanks everyone.


Mark/Steven - Yes, it's Australia! Me and half the UK, or so it appears. Planning to go before Xmass. My brother in law is across there. Mebourne. Been a few times, and like the lifestyle.[8D][8D][]


Dont worry though! I will still be a regular IAP contributor.[]


Cheers everyone.

Thanks Steve, think I remember now![]

Cheers again everyone!


Serge - Certainly I would love to meet up! Once I get across there, perhaps you can give me some pointers for wood supplies, kit stockists etc.[][][]

Ian - I'll take you up on your offer, and will chat about Oz when we meet. Cheers.

Mark - Well it isn't a decision that we have taken lightly, but we know it's for the best. Our kids are at the right age, and there is more opportunities for me, and the family.[] If we dont go now, we would always be wondering, so have decided to bite the bullet.[:0][]

Hi Colin,

Yes, the UK is certainly changing. Hopefully this will give us a better life, but will need to wait and see.


Looking forward to meeting you and all the others in September.


Rgds,
Kenny.
