Good day of turning yesterday! Thanks Jeff P!

Here is one of Jeff Powell's skull and crossbones with a bit of Malachite crushed stone added for some treasure below the bones and at the nib end.
Also, my dad and I finished an order for 9 Bethlehem Olive Wood Americanas (these were done over some time). The BOW's are finished with CA after soaking with accelerator. Oh, and I completed my first cast of prairie rattlesnake. Also finished a slimline blue. Enjoy!

Beautiful work. Where did you get the skull and cross bones blank? I've been looking for one like that. Any help would be appriciated.

Very nice batch of pen. Nice work.

Those look really great Eric! How'd your special blanks work out?

 

[CSue]

What a great lot of pens! I do so love the shape of the lower barrel of your skull and crossbones pen. It seems to give it a more balanced look. Is that blackwood or ebony?

Now that is a good day, nicely done.

Nice work, I like the Fishers of Men especially.

Jeff, Thank you! The specials are drilled and painted. They are looking great! Thanks for the tips on drilling. Next week I will turn them and show them off!

Those all look great. I especially like the BOW collection. That kit (silver bullet americana) is one of my favorites.

Well done mate!!

I'll bet any fair dinkum boy would do anything for that pirate theme pen.

Rattlesnake is a ripper too.

Eric each one looks fantastic my friend, I especially like the BOW Americanas, the scull and cross bones Baron is gorgeous but I am not too keen on the Malachite at the nib end (just my personal taste).
