Bubbasville Complete

[Deere41h]

This is the pen that was made at Bubbasville this weekend during the demonstration on making a closed end pen. Bubbasville is in Hurst Texas and is run in Jeff Carrell's shop. There were 18 of us that attended and a good time was had by all. The blank is maple and bloodwood from Ron Mc of Mckinneypens.

John,
Very nice pen! I am so disgusted that I had previous obligations and couldn't be there. I really needed to view your demo so that I would feel more comfortable trying a closed end pen.[]

Beautiful work, John, but tell me...Who's got a pocket that deep? []

I wish I had had the day off and could have been there but have to pay the bills. Maybe next time!

Really nice looking pen. Good contrast on the wood and no bleeding from the bloodwood to the maple. Great job.

Thanks for all the very nice comments. They are very much appreciated.

Ron .. I'm going to need more of your blanks!

Lou ... It is a bit long but does fit in my pocket. 5 3/4" overall

Anthony ... You got that right. Free wood does turn better.

James ... The demo went well. I used some of your pictures. I'll send you a copy of the PDF when I get it.

Thanks again!
