made these today

[Blister]

As you may be aware

Dad is in hospital fighting the big C

So to hopefully cheer him up a bit I made him a pen as the old bic Biro run out of ink

Took it in for him and he was pleased as punch

He shows it to the man in the next bed who calls me over and asks if I can make him two pens , one light colour and one dark :lol:

so here they are , what do you think ? , will he like them ?

Its my first commission for making pens , and they sold them selves , good ay

I tried a pen this weekend as well. Will take some photos tonight.
