Because pens.

And because space can be a bit limited on the table at Market Days, depending on what I’ve got on offer (cutting boards, for example, take up a lot of room), it made sense to “go vertical”.

I probably ought to make another one, now that I’ve made the template…

Here are some more recently turned pens, as I get ready for the December rush (he said, hopefully).

A new design here at Barkwhistle Wood Shop is this Celtic Twist Pen, shown here in both antique brass and antique pewter finish. A green stone in the cap matches the “midnight forest” acrylic body.

An emerging favourite is the Stratus Click Pen. These two are in the gunmetal finish, colours are called “sunset swirl” and “creamsicle”.

Continuing with the gunmetal Stratus, here are four “bespoke” pens, as in, they’re already bespoken for. Acrylic colours are called Salt and Pepper, Cosmic Green, Caribbean Sea, and Bumble Bee.

And because I still like turning wood sometimes here in the wood shop, here are a Streamline Twist Pen and two Slimline Twist Pens, in gold finish. The woods are (top to bottom) Bloodwood, Bubinga, and Sapele.

Here are some recent pens I’ve made, which keeps me out of trouble, and fills the empty hours between larger projects.

Acrylic “Midnight Forest” Slimline Twist Ballpoint

Here are two new “Streamline”-style twist pens, in acrylic, with “gunmetal” plating.

That’s the last of the Streamlines for a while, I think. Although I’m never sure what’s lurking in my pen-making drawer…
