First Few Pens

[BobBerk]

Hey everyone. Pretty new to turning still, picked up my Jet lathe a few weeks ago from the local Rockler. Finally got around to taking some pictures of the first few pens I've made, so Figured I'd post em up. Nothin fancy yet just Slimlines/"Streamlines"

Choke Cherry Burl, with "Streamline" Chrome kit

Walnut Slimline

Not sure what type of wood on this one

Nice looking pens. You did nice work.

Better than my firsts, heck maybe better than my lasts. Good job.

Very nice batch of pens.

 

[bracky1]

Very nice pens and very nice photographs too

First class pens and stunningly clear pics too. Welcome to IAP Bob:biggrin:

Great pens & pics.

excellent start! Looks like you have fallen into the vortex. Might as well make sure all the good suppliers have your credit card info!

You're off to a great start!
The third one looks like olive from here.
Not crazy about slims, but yours look good. Once you
get used to a little more meat on the streamlines, it's
hard to go back to slimlines. :tongue:
I like the lower barrel shape on the choke cherry. Good profile!

Great looking first pens and pictures, both way better than my efforts when I started.

Wow, thanks for all the replies and comments.
I have to give credit to my sister for the photographs, I just handed her the pens and a few different rocks. She took a lot more, Just posted my favorites.

I'm from Carlsbad(North County, San Diego), born and raised. Love it here so much, don't think I could ever move far away.

NewLondon88: You're right, After I made that one, I pretty much took slimlines off my list.
