Closed End First Try

[Laurenr]

Many issues, some are obvious, some not so, but basically I think I have the idea. I must remind myself that it is "progress" not "perfection" that matters.:biggrin:

Yeah, right.

Definitely a good first effort. Like the use of materials - nice contrast!

As I recall our very first closed end pen somewhat resembled a one hitter according to our children. :wink:

 

[Ruby pen turning]

ha. A one hitter pen...you might be onto something there.

 

[razor524]

That is very nice. Working up to trying this myself!

 

[wiset1]

One heck of a jumping off point. These pens look amazing and I'm sure that with a couple more turns you will be pleased with the perfection you hold in your hands

 

[fernhills]

I like the shape of the first pens closed end portion. Carl

Really a nice job.

 

[drcustomes]

awesome stuff

 

[Whaler]

Great job, I really like the Statesman/Jr Statesman.

 

[Laurenr]

Actually, the pen is a Triton from Woodcraft.

 

[seamus7227]

Unbelievable!!! Great Job Lauren! I think both were executed nicely!

 

[alphageek]

The triton is fabulous!! Great looking pen and the segments really pop nice.

 

[boxerman]

Very nice pens.

Don't you mean first closed end post? That looks way too good to be your first "try". Excellent combination of materials, very impressive.

Oh Bob, you're such a kidder.:biggrin: Truth be told, I have done one other, ...the hard way. Then I purchased closed-end mandrels from Silhouette. So you are seeing my 2nd, and 3rd try, ...technically. Geez give a guy a break.

I haven't seen you around WC lately. I will be teaching a class on the 29th, come over and say hello.

Good to hear from you.

Ha! I've seen your work in person....your "first try" outdoes my "last try", but I'm catching up! Give me a few years

As for WC, I've been a lot more than I thought, just ask my wallet. I'll have to sneak over again.
