I've been working on faceted pens lately. Here are a few recently completed.

Gorgeous pens!!! Trying to figure out how much time you spend sanding those guy. The results look perfect!

Just checked out your site: https://www.romulus.handoverthatpen.com/

Thanks! It usually takes several hours to cut in/sand/buff the facets. I can't give a more precise estimate, because I can't sit down long enough to knock that out in one go. Usually I do it over the course of a couple days.

Let me be the first to say facetnating. :) :rolleyes: I really like the work you've done. Are you cutting the barrel/cap thread on a metal lathe?
Thanks! I do cut all my threads on the metal lathe.

Congratulations for creating a new and unique style of pen turning that's very attractive! It will be interesting to see how many others have the skills and patience to give it a try. Not me!

Thanks ! I can't take credit for inventing facets, but I am proud of formulating my own methods of doing them! It almost seems like it's more "pen sanding" thank "pen turning"!
That is first class work. The white one is awesome.

Thanks! That was an especially satisfying one to get done
