    Hi Huw, Good job before turning. And yet another great design. And another beautiful pen. Big congratulations for the richness of details and a beautiful handicraft. I saw a knee brace walking stick there. I hope your waist is better now. Stay healthy and happy. Cheers Huw

      Pens are an art form in their own right in my mind and people get very attached to a nice pen. I certainly do.
      Just about to get ready to see the Physio.
      If you have a Skew try it on a scrap piece of wood, the finish off the cut does mean less sanding.
