Grumpy Pen!

Been a while since I posted some new pens.

This is Norfolk Pine, one of my favourite woods but super hard to get. Often has checks in it and I filled this with crushed turquoise. My Nieces call it grumpy pen!

The kit is Accord from Woodcraft. One of my favourite kits. Well made, weighty, easy to assemble and feels solid! Not cheap though! $20. In true Woodcraft fashion, the bushings don't fit well and the tubes are too thick for the appropriate barrel trimmer, which has to be thinned to fit.

I can see the eyebrow & the eyes in it.
Pretty cool & a great name for it.

You don't see a lot of pens made with Norfolk Pine and I don't know why. Nice job making the blank and filling the checks, I like the contrast between the turquoise and orange. This reminds me of one of the first pens I turned and sold - a Slimline with a stabilized Norfolk Pine blank that I bought. It wasn't particularly striking but it was pretty in a subtle way. Apparently the person that bought it thought so to!

That should have been my pen of choice yesterday, according to my wife.
