With a little help from my IAP friends

[Spats139]

My wife was asked to make a guest book to be used at a memorial for a friend's mother. After she had it decorated, she asked me to make a pen that would match. I thought that a photochromic blank I bought from "wolftat" might work, and it did. In fact, it worked so well that I made two pens so that each daughter would be able to keep one to remind them of their mother. (Is it a good thing, or a bad thing, when someone starts to cry when they receive one of your pens?)

This next pen is my first attempt at turning between centres using my new LC and DC and bushings that just arrived from "johnnycnc". This TBC looks like it's going to be a lot of fun!

Afzelia Burl (from KJP) on a Black Titanium/ Titanium Gold Elegant Sierra (from Ernie at BTW).

Couldn't have done them without the IAP!

Thanks,

All three look great. I like what you did with the subtle curves in the shapes and the finish work looks terrific, too.
