Finally made a few pens

[gerryr]

Seems like it took me forever to finally get back to turning after the forest fire. Here's a couple from this weekend, done in between cutting down trees and rebuilding pasture fence. First is a Rhodium Havana ballpoint in the some resin I got from Woodpen Pro in Hawaii. It turns out to be more translucent than I thought, but I think it's OK. You can't really see the tubes, just some color.

Next one is a black Ti Jr. Statesman in alternative ivory. I really like this stuff, even has grain like the real stuff. I haven't decided yet if it will be a rollerball or fountain pen. I've going to visit my engraver tomorrow and see what he has that can be done to look like scrimshaw.

Hammer away.

Excellent work, Gerry. That Havana looks a bit like the smoke in one of your pics of the fires. Glad the turning spirit has returned. [8D]
