Hi,
One of my frustrations as a pen maker has been finding a pen in the 7mm slim line category that I think suits my style of pen making. I know many people like the traditional slim line but I have not found it to my liking.
As a seller of my work I have also seen the need for a slim pen that looks just right. I think I have finally found the kit that works for me. A few weeks ago I was in the Burlington Lee Valley and I noticed a pen kit called the Streamline. I had not seen it before and I liked the look.
With a show coming in a week I bought 10 kits and decided I will see how they do.
So here is the result of today’s turning.
These are Flat Top Streamlines
They are all stabilized box elder burls, spalted, red, black, green and brown
These are the Round Top Streamlines,
They are a variety of colours of stabilized box elder burls and a spalted oak.
I am really happy with the size and appearance of these pens, I think they will do well
