Well done, Alan. I've never been a big fan of the slimlines or streamlines in this case, but your work has me rethinking that position. I really like these two pens.
 
WOW ! !

VERY NICE, Alan ! ! !

That's an idea for segmenting that I'm going to copy ! ! !
 
I really like the way you dressed up what is basically a lower priced kit. I think it's the first time I've seen segments only around the center band. Perhaps you will start a trend. Like Mal said, I think I'll copy the design also. Thanks for showing.

Thanks Dan. There's plenty that you can do with Streamlines as there's more timber to play with compared to a Slimline.

Hey Larry, thanks for your comments, and as I said to Mal, I didnt think that is anything that hasnt been done before.
Copy away.

I'm late to the dance as usual! Very nice Alan. I have a few blanks still from you that need tending.

I love the combination and the attention to the dimensions with the double center bands. Very nice Mate! 👏 👏 👏
 
Nice! I've never heard of Royal Poinciana before. The open grain gives it a nice look. Bet you have to be careful of getting contrasting materials in the pores. What did you use for finish?
 
As always Alan very creative. I also like these kits because of the extra wood.
Great design as always.

Hello Todd. When I stayed with my sister on the Australian Gold Coast I was struck by the beautiful street trees which were mainly Royal Poinciana ( Delonix regia ) Sometime later Mark @mark james posted a photograph of a lovely pen he had made using this timber.
The timber itself is fairly dense, so no problems with sanding.
The pens were sanded with Abranet to 600 grit and buffed with Tripoli and White Diamond and finished with Carnauba wax.
