These Jr. Gent II's are made with dyed and stabilized box elder burl (yes...more wood from the plastics guy), using Arizona Silhouette's new closed-end mandrel. Hope you like them.
Closed-end super-burls (wood is good!)

Nice pens Ed, how did you like the mandrel?
YoYoSpin

Dan, I'm completely sold on it. The main feature is when the nuts are tightened, the mandrel expands uniformly, locking the blank in place, perfectly centered relative to the brass tube.

Ed, they came out real nice. I should be receiving mine tomorrow.
Jim, if you have that mandrel you probably have the one for the Baron pens and it won't work for the Jr. Gents and Statesmens.
That particular mandrel for the Jr's just showed up on Arizona Silhouette's site just last week. [

Great looking pens Ed, the tutorial is excellent. I for one have learned SO MUCH from the tutorials that you produce.[^][]

Ed,
Those are REALLY sharp! Did you add the CB from a different kit, or am I just seeing a reflection in the colored portion of the CB?

Your pens are great. No doubt the mandrel works fine. The tutorial is helpful also. However, I have to wonder about the criticizm of the rolling pin style chuck as is made by Fangar. It says they frequently cause out of round turnings. I know you didn't writ that but I have to wonder if the statement is based on fact or is simply intended to injure a competitiors sales unfairly.

Ed...beautiful wood and turning. Are those Jr. Gents II or are those Statesmans?

Bill,
Yep...you are right. They are Jr. Statesman kits. Too many kits and too little brains.
