Getting the Hang of This

[Sandsini]

Here is my 4th pen, a Sedona Chrome made with a white ribbon black acrylic blank. I am starting to feel a little bit better about my pen making skills but tomorrow's project will ramp it up a little bit.

I have a commission from my wife to make a pen for her father for Father's Day, so I chose a Cambridge Hybrid (Sterling Silver and Upgrade Gold) with a gold veined white Truestone blank. I haven't turned Truestone yet and am prepared to keep my HS chisels sharpened every few minutes. I'll post it when/if I finish it.

Cheers,
Eric

That's a really nice looking pen. Good Job! :good:

Good plan, because if I'm not mistaken, that's one of the harder tru-stone blanks

And even if it's not, it will still be a challenge. But based on this pen, you should manage just fine.
