Here's one I finished this week-end. This blank showed up last week in the mail. It was a back-ordered blank from back at the beginning of February. This is the first time I've used a dyed, stabilized blank. Wow! I think I'll be buying a few more of these from now on.

Here's the blank as it arrived - not much to look at.

And here's what it turned into. A nice Satin Euro.....

Ken, that's awesome. My wife is looking over my shoulder, and even she went "wow" as I scrolled down the page. Hmmm...no more reading over my shoulder for her; she'll want me to turn pens as nice as yours!

Ok... Now this must be where the magic begins.... There is just no way in Heck, I would have seen such a beautiful pen in those blanks.

Ken, you did a great job on it. Nice Fit and Finish. Beautiful Pen. Thanks for posting before and after photos...I hope more people post before and after. It really helps those of us who are new and can't afford to buy a sample of everything. Thanks.

There was just one cut-off from the blank. I'm saving it to use as a center band someday. Thanks again for all the nice comments. I never would have dreamed that ugly piece of wood would reveal such color....it's incredible. I think I'll give this one to my wife.
