This is the first pen she has made.

[Wood Butcher]

A couple of weeks ago I was privileged to work with a lady whom I have known for several years teaching her, as best I could, how to make a pen. She is the 106th person I have taught in a one on one situation. She is an accomplished woodworker and artist though new to turning. She was a attentive and charming student and is a most pleasant person I was a bit taken back by her choice of pen blanks, a rather plain piece of hard maple. She said she had plans to work with it after she got it home so we proceeded. She was a quick learner making a pen with good fit and finish. The photo is what she sent me after she applied her talents to the finished pen. She said she will be checking out the IAP site and at some point she will become a member. I certainly hope she does join our ranks so we can see more of her talent.

Amazing is an understatement. Thank you for teaching her, and sharing!

Apparently you did a fine job as the mentor here!

She did an outstanding job both with the pen and the embellishment!
Do you know if it ISPs all paint work or a mixture of pyrography and paint?

Edit......and the pen case!

Can't wait for her to join so we can enjoy more of her work. And a Thanks! to you for teaching.
