Getting Better with each one....

[csr67]

I'm still very new to this, but I've now made about 20 pens. They just keep getting better. My CA finish is much better thanks to all the tips I've read on this site. I picked up a few kits from Smitty during his BASH sale, and I really like them. Here's a nice Le Roi Elegant in a stabilized redwood burl I also got from him:



And a Caballero in Rosewood:



The best thing I did was to ditch my HF mini lathe and get a Rikon 70-100. I really like that lathe!

That's a pretty redwood burl.

Nice work.
Wish you would have included a photo of your new lathe.
Do you turn other things besides pens?

From the photo I can see you are way better organized than me ... LOL.

Have your friends started hitting you up for pens yet?
You better start now building up your stock of finished pens for the Christmas rush cause when word gets around you will sell or gift everything you have then.

Keep up the good work.
