How lucky am I?

Below are pics of the PITH pen I received from MarkD. An amazing bit of cedar wrapped around a modified Jr. Gent. This is just a bit longer than stock (which feels really nice) to accomodate the stylus he threaded into the post. How cool is that?!?!?

Mark - Thank you. You gave more than an amazing product and cool blanks. You provided inspiration for another turner. I've such a long way yet to travel along this path

Eastern Red Cedar is too often overlooked by everyone, especially when it's crosscut like this blank here...the coloring is absolutely amazing.


Fit-n-finish is remarkably well executed!! Very lucky!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOW! That is a great piece of workmanship and one bad@$$ piece of cedar.

 

[JimB]

That is amazing!

Very beautiful pen! The finish is amazing. You are indeed very lucky :wink:

As for best deals on regular and crosscut ERC - I find it on Ebay for pretty inexpensive once in a while. Last batch of cross-cut I got was 5 for $5.50. 3/4"x3/4"x5.5"

Awesome pen. That would come in handy on my tablet

Sam, I'm glad you like the pen. It was a fun project. The xcut cedar was a bit challenging but oh so worth it in the end.

Amazing pen. That is some of the nicest grain I have seen. Great job.

It would agree...under utilized. Not to mention the happy unintended consequence of making the whole shop smell WONDERFUL!.

Thanks again Mark...really something special.
