I was asked to post this so - here goes

[Hubert H]

This pen body was made using black walnut and the inside out turning method. The center tube is brass with Birdseye maple turned down to 15/32"s around it. The cap and the nib both are made using Birdseye maple with black walnut accents. A transmission from the Nevus pen parts was used. The pen has a Parker type refill. This picture was taken by Patricia Lawson.

[toddlajoie]

That's fantastic!!!

You should have entered it in one of the BASH contests!!!!! (of course the Pen Photo Contest would have been my suggestion...)

 

[TonyL]

Really outstanding!

 

[mark james]

That is really cool! Excellent innovation. :wink:

 

[magpens]

Nice !! Interesting design. Are there other posts describing the inside out method ? I'd like to give it a try.

 

[jttheclockman]

Now that is some thinking outside the box. We need to see more things like this. A lot of possibilities with that type design. Thanks for showing. Good job.

 

[markgum]

[Jack Parker]

I see Christmas ornaments turned like this. I agree it should have been a bash entry.

 

[skiprat]

Looks like a PMG submission pen to me.... :biggrin:

Big congrats !!! :wink:

 

[Displaced Canadian]

Well done. Is the middle part turned to shape or steamed and bent?

 

[Hubert H]

Thanks for the comments. Everything is turned.

 

[Displaced Canadian]

You are a much better woodturner than I.

 

[Hubert H]

Christopher,

Be a long time before I would agree with that statement. I do however like seeing things other turners have done.

What Hubert is not telling everyone because he is so humble, is that this was his Pen Makers Guild submission pen that got him in the group. So i for one would like to publicly congratulate him on his acceptance into the guild!

[Hubert H]

Thank you

 

[jttheclockman]

Thank you

Well now you do not hide those details. You celebrate them. That is a worthwhile accomplishment. Congrads on the acceptance. We need to see more exciting things such as this. This gives us mere mortals ssomething to strive for. As I said there are so many more possibilities that can come from this design. Again job well done and congrads for the award and to post it during the Bash makes it even better. Pen making is alive.

The local turning club had someone demonstrate the technique a few years ago but I never would have considered it for a pen. That's very impressive creativity and turning.

 

[79spitfire]

[wob50]

[OLDMAN5050]
