Fantastic job, love the colours nd the finish. What is the difference between a U.S. pen and a Euro pen ? is it thickness????? ( not that Europeans like me are thicker of course )?????

Ruining lots of good wood to get a few average bits.

Thank guys. Smile

The European pen is just a different style. I am not sure what they would be called in Europe. Maybe just Pen. Wink

Leo2, they are also known as a Designer pen. They are based on a Mont Blanc style.

Leo, The Euro pen is called a 'Euro' in Europe, it's just a style name.

Brian, lovely pens. I particularly like the Padauk.

Thanks guys. Not bad for a first post, huh?

I forgot to mention both were gifts. I forget who I gave the acrylic one to, but the padauk pen went to a local hardwood dealer. He has always gone out of his way to be helpful to me.

Thanks Brendan, I realy dont know much do I !!. the info is always welcome, even if it is obvious to most, if I don't ask I will never know. Sometimes it's the dafter questions that need to be asked, so that anyone else who doesn't know much can find out too. that's my excuse anyway.......
