    Very nice Dave !

    That’s what I call it „Handmade in United Kingdom“.
    Normally you don’t find anything like that anymore.
    I am impressed!
    If you sell those, like the super Sic #58 pen, I am interested as well as some others here!?

    Cheers guy's.

    You're right "Handmade in United Kingdom“. If anyone's local to Fareham, i'm happy for you to have a go and make a pen or something, you might get hooked like i did :D

    Looks like it going to rain today so i'll make some more and post pic's :D

    I sell the items I make, just to feed my hobbie, if you guy's want something drop me a PM :D :D

    Blue, make these for you today, let me know what you think.

    The light fountain pen is made from Bethlehem Olivewood; it has a great grain to it.
    The dark one is made from African Blackwood, it also has a great dark grain, you can't see it in the photos.

    Both pens are 24K gold plated:D

    Both pens look better in the flesh, unfortunately my photography isn't as good as my woodturning :D

    I'd have bought one off you too then Dave.
