First Attempt at Pen Turning

[jtalbert]

The first one came out way to fat, but I got better on the next ones.

I still need a lot of work, and my finishing skills are not up to par. At this point I am afraid I'm hooked

Well James, the frustrating addiction is underway!! You have done a great job.[][][^] Remember we all learnt pull our pant on the same way.[]
That corn cb looks like it needs to lead another life.[]

 

[jtalbert]

I think a rat ran over there and gnawed on the cob. now if I can just get him to gnaw some of that extra wood off the pens ill have it made

Just to make matters worse, let me warn you in advance: Your finishing skills will NEVER be up to your expectations!!!

Not if you keep expecting to improve!!! But that's what makes this hobby challenging. Everyone who SEES the pens is impressed and that's VERY rewarding.

Excellent start!![][][]

They look good from here James[^]. Personally I don't think the first one looks too 'fat'. Wlecome to the addiction and the slim wallet[]

I don't see a thing wrong with the pens. The fit and finish also lok good. Keep up the good work and repost your 15th and 20th pens and we shall tell you what we think . mikem[]
