Pen and Pencil set
« on: December 14, 2012, 01:08:30 PM »
Pen and Pencil set made without the original Center Bands. The wood used is Oak, which was given to me in a big log that had been laid in someones garden for quite a number of years. The centers are made from plastic. The pen is in two halves while the pencil is all one barrel.




To do the pencil barrel i placed the two tubes on to the center band and then turned the C/B down between centers on the lathe.

Hi Jim an welcome, beautiful post as this is a lovely set, I like them and your WIP as to what you'd done, I know others will ask as to the kits and where you've got them from.

Cheers      David
