First PW pen

[dgscott]

It's a retro fountain pen in coral Tru-stone, Beall buffed and Ren waxed. It's kinda PINK rather than coral, but someone will like it.

I found that MM'ing was a waste of time save for knocking the top edges off, but the Beall buff worked really well, even in the grooves.

Comments and criticisms?

I like that, Is there a long learning curve to use the machine. What motor unit are you using? Have you tried machining Alum?
I know, far too many questions. I am looking for a hammer to break open the piggy bank to see if there is enough for one.
Thanks for sharing!!

Well, I only ruined three blanks before doing this. I've only worked this piece of trustone and some maple. IY'm using a Dremel and I bought the bits that JR sells.

Great looking pen Douglas. What particular bit did you use for the pen?
Thanks,

I used a 3/32" ball end mill, rotation every fourth hole.
