My first post with pictures. These are most of the first pens I've made. All the hardware is from PennState. Any critique is appreciated


This was my Christmas gift to my father, it's made of cocobolo wood.

My grandparents gift on my fathers side. Made of Mexican Bocote and Tamarind spalted.

Christmas gift to my grandmother on my moms side. Made olive wood, same as a set of candlestick holders that I made for my mom.

This was my very first attempt to a lamination that I did myself. It is made of cherry, cocobolo, and walnut. Unfortunently the epoxy I used darkened the cherry considerably.

This is my second and most recent attempt. Made of cocobolo and cherry. I used a different gule this time and it helped a lot. Although it did darken the cherry still.

You do nice work. It looks like you're ready to start making your own center bands. Making your own gives you more versatility and an ability to make thicker pens.
