Two Wooden Pens this Time

[Dalboy]

A change from the polyester blanks I have gone for some wooden blanks this time.

The first is a JR Gents pen kit in gunmetal finish and I have fitted a Silver Birch Burr blank, even though you could see some grain in the blank it was not until I applied the finish did it really come to life.

The second is a Sierra kit with brushed chrome and gold. This time I used a Rapola Lacewood blank I have added a close up to show the grain.

Very nice, especially the first one. Lively figuring.

I finished them with BLO/CA and the kits I got from Taylormirfield. Dan is very helpful, he is building up his kits slowly and there are some which only he supplies like the Omega and the Zeta which is a smaller version of the Sierra

Will defo need to have a close look at that site. I usually get mine from Timberbits, and the post can take a while.
Those slimline and Jr Gentlemans kits look pretty damned reasonable. Quite a few of the refills I have had from Timberbits recently have been poor quality. Maybe old stock or whatever, but it doesn't look good giving someone a pen as a gift and it doesn't write.

Have a look at Phil's (Beaufortink) website for refills Dan From Taylormirfield uses some of them in his kits he sells
