Peter T Report post Posted September 27, 2013 G'day Everybody, Here is a pen I covered with a turks head for a friend of mine. I like doing these pens for a bit of a change of pace from whipmaking. Sometimes it's nice to start and finish something on the same night... Pete Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoyalLeatherDesigns Report post Posted September 27, 2013 That is a nice pen is it hard to make them. I wouldn't even now how to go about it. Do you make this often or is it something new to you also where this is the first one you make. Ralph Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peter T Report post Posted September 30, 2013 Thanks everybody. Ralph, these are not all that hard to put together. The pen kits are usually used by woodworkers to make timber pens. The knot is tied over a metal tube and then all the bits of the pen are pressed together. I don't make them all that often. I have probably made about 15 or so over the years, mostly the ones you twist to open. I've used different coloured lace to get different effects. The pen I currently use I just stitched on a bit of roo. I really like it. I might see if I can dig up some photos to post. Pete Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
