My First Pen- 7 Years Past

[Jim in Oakville]

Hi,

I found my first pen the other day. It has been seven years since I turned this pen. The clip is gone, the hardware is damaged and the fit is horrible!

But I Will never part with this one...

I think some one started a string awhile ago about first pens...I can't find it, so I posted my First One here.

Critiques are welcome...LOL

It's nice to be able to look back at where we started. I still have my first (hidden away in the back of a drawer because it is absolutely awful) and peek at it from time to time. Thanks for sharing.

[:0]My wife still has the first one I made and she guards it. She won't even let me touch it. It is really awful.

Dang man!! did that ever get some use! I have never seen the wood on a cap worn down that much from turning the pen open and closed before! []
