Arthritis says one is enough....

[Phillip Kelley]

I intended to turn several pens today but the arthritis in hands fingers thumbs, etc says that one is enough...This is my carry pen for the day, Hackberry on a Big Ben Cigar....It was overcast so I took this pic outside on the hood of a gray truck...

Pleasantly nice pic considering the conditions and location it was taken...!

Also, a pretty spalted piece of wood you got there, the cigar kit exhibits the wood well and a good job on the fit and finish, shame that your hands have arthritis, I know all about it from my wife's condition, however, I recall similar problems before I had my Carpel tunnel done on my both wrists, it wouldn't take long for the pins and needles feelings start to make using my hands quite difficult.

I hope that you get other opportunities soon, do make a few more pens...!

Cheers
George

Very nice pen. Love the hackberry. I have one in my back yard. Big enough for at least 1,257,819 pen blanks.
