First pen, first post

[Acelectric]

Nothing fancy but it is my first pen. I think it turned out well all things considered. Just used some cedar scraps and a pen kit from PSI.

Beautiful job. Keep it forever. It is a keepsake. I think most of us still have our first pen, I do.

Welcome from Arkansas. I think cedar is so under appreciated. Good job on your 1st pen. My 1st pen has never been used. Of course it's unusable.:redface: But I do still have it.

My wife has already laid claim to it lol.

Better get used to that. And if you have any daughters, they acquire more than their fair share to.
