I have lost track of the number of actual pens I have made. It is somewhere between 100 and 120. I have been doing this for about 5 months and have made about $3000. It has been a great way to get tool money so I don't have to beg from my wife.
I do know this is my 1000th post. I saved this one today. I wanted to post a new pen. I was writing something down today and grabbed a pen from our pen cubby and it happened to be one of the first 5 pens I did. Now I look at this one and all I can say is THANKS IAP! You guys/gals as a group have had a tremendous effect on my craftsmanship and artsmanship.
THANK YOU ALL!!
This pen was fun. It is from some beautiful curly mahogany from BB. Very gold, very chatoyant. Nice to turn and finish. This is a Baron, 24k gold trim. It is a custom closed end form done with a scroll chuck and a wooden dowel as a mandrel. It has a custom wood finial and I booted out the extra trim rings. I think I have a new favorite pocket pen.
Comments and critiques are welcome, encouraged and begged for. Next time I will rub my fingerprint of the nib.
