First GO at the Magnetic Vertex

[Ruby pen turning]

This is the first magnetic Vertex set that I have done. I like it more then I thought I would but the cap is still a little to big. The woods I used are
Cocobolo,HRB,Buckeye Burl and Maple burl. All pens have about 8 coats CA sanded then sanded again through all the colored pads then polished with Novus. Thanks for looking any comments bad or good welcome.

Very nice pens. I haven't used one of these kits yet but with only a single turned section it shows off the wood very nicely, similar to the Zen. The Buckeye is my fav!

I gotta go with the buckeye burl...they are all nice but that is my favorite! The gunmetal color accents the buckeye very nicely.

3 very nice pens.

Hows it compare to a Zen, if you've done one? Looks a little thinner.

I really like the cocobolo, but I tend to like wood with strong red tones.

Thanks for posting these! As always, your pens look great!

I was wondering what these would look like and have two of them, one FP and one RB. I'll be turning the FP in a green/silverish-white swirl acrylic and the RB in claro walnut crotch.

I agree with you on the cap being too big. I'm not a fan of the kit, but I really like the cocobolo burl pen the best
