Junior Pen Scroller

[workinforwood]

See...anyone can do it! She's almost 8. Scrolled it, glued it, PRPrincess poured it, then she painted her tubes, glue it, spun it and finished it. Yea...there's some bleading, the fit isn't perfect and the finish is not so good, but what do you do, she was in a hurry. Can't really pry it from her hands for a better photo. It's supposed to be a snake, a fish and water waves. She calls her pen "The little fish"

Very cool. I hope my first attempt and scrolling will go that well. And I have about 30 years on her.

What the....? She's better than me!

This is not fair. I haven't even tried that and now I am really going to have to make the effort. Very well done and she has a future, look out.

Me to, I feel bad getting shown up by 30 year old kids, but when an 8 year old does it I really feel ashamed of my junk work.:crying:

Jeff you and she should both be very proud, tell her an old grumpy man said she did a very nice job, and she should be very proud of her Little Fish !

Fantastic

:RockOn:That pen is beautiful. tell her to be carefull with the long sleves while she is turning. Learned that one the hard way.:tongue:

 

[markgum]

excellant work. I agree with Roy, I shoudl quit.
I think she needs to get on the Woodturner's Speaking circuit.

 

[TBone]

Bad enough you guys show me up, but an 8 year old? DANG! Now I have to hope get as good as she is.

Congrats Grandpa on having fun and congrats to the little lady for making a great pen.

I think she did a great job as well. The bleeding happens to everyone at times so its hardly a rookie mistake. Second, I dont even know what scrolling is! So she got me there! I thought it was working with a scroll saw.. All around, her creativity, and finished project is what this hobby is all about. Thanks for sharing with us.

Great pictures Jeff. It's nice to see the two of you sharing quality time in the workshop. Both of you will treasure those moments.
