Cranked out a few slimlines this weekend, to add to the case. Nothing special but they came out nice.

Turned 5 keepers and one reject

Hey Peter!!!

Nice group of pens. Now, dump the centerband and make your own from a contrasting wood. Especially for the pens that have the neat two-tone tops!!

Then you can make the profile more flowing, without having to transition back to the smaller center---you'll like the look!!!

Nothing horrible. Just not a good looking pen. I flipped the barrel and accidentally had the grain running the wrong way.

Since I'm only in the pen about $4 or so. I'd rather give it away in hopes of drumming up business than hassle with dis-assembly and fixing it.
 
Peter from one Peter to another I am partly in agreement with Ed however I tend to use a centre band from the Streamline available cheaply separately that allows a fatter pen that will suit your quality timbers. Disregarding the traditional centre band idea can jolt a large number of people who after all are the buyers. Looking at pricing from the making selling angles there is so much only in this market.

Having said that I made Slims in the waisted shape as yours presented here for 15 yrs with enormous acceptance. I like your pens anyway they are well made with differences other styles add to the arsenal.

Regards Peter.

I hate to speak heresy and, at the risk of losing my spot at the "Man=table", try reading the manual with your Sony.:eek::eek::eek:

I was astonished at the features---and the manual made it sound so simple even I COULD do it!!

(When you post pictures, just say you "figured it out"--sounds a lot better than "read the manual")
