My latest pens. I'm getting rusty.

Pen # 35 BOW Cigar (commissioned)

Pen # 36 PITH for Dario, Pomelle Bubinga, first Baron for me:

Same pen, with different lighting:

Thanks for looking.

Hey, nice bubinga! Where did you find it? []

 

[BigRob777]

William,
[] I'm sure you'll do better with yours than I did. I wish I had done a CA finish, but I'm not set up for that kind of smell in the house yet. I'm going to have to invest in some odorless CA.

Dario is a lucky fellow, beautiful pen, both of them.[]

 

[JimGo]

We need to get you set up with a different picture-taking arrangement - that bubinga pen looks MUCH better in person (not that it looks bad in the pic!). You didn't tell me it wa for Dario - I would have <s>stolen</s> liberated it! []

 

[GaryMGg]

That BOW cigar is very nice. The bubinga is excellent. I'm awaiting my first Barons and
pics like this are making me impatient. I might have to burn some leave time when they arrive. []

36 is looking Gooooooooood!!!!!

 

[Dario]

Nice pen indeed []

Rob, favor...please post taht pic (at the PITH pen picture gallery) instead of me taking a pic later tonight.

Thanks!!!

Nice Pens Rob, really nice!!!!! I think your Bubinga pen is prettier than mine tho. Getting ready to do a Sierra with it when the wind quits[]

 

[BigRob777]

Dario,
No problem.

Becca,
Thanks, but I still think yours was nicer.
Rob

 

[BigRob777]

Thank you all, for your kind words. I was really feeling rusty with my turning. It is hard on my back, but with my new lathe, the height will be better for me.

[NavyDiver]

Nice job on both. I really like the grain of the BOW.

 

[BigRob777]

Eric,
Yeah, that was one that was left over from my sales. It had a crack in one end, but I didn't need the whole blank. I turned three BOW pens, from those left-overs and I have one left, with good grain. I just filled a knot hole with CA. I'll save that for a special pen customer.

[johncrane]

both look great BigRob.[]

 

[Jim15]

Looking good Rob.

 

[broitblat]

Nice work, Rob! I'm glad your back is cooperating enough to let you get some turning in.

That bubinga looks great Rob. Nice sapwood in the BoW. good job on both.

 

[BigRob777]

Thanks guys. They both turn nicely, but I prefer less sapwood in the BOW. I don't think I'll be doing much turning, until I get my shop put up.
Rob

 

[splinter99]

[bob393]

They are nice pens!

Harold, Bob,
Thanks. I have to do a pen in huangana negra, for one of my wife's friends. I'm not well versed in cross-cut turning, so I hope it works out. She was a missionary in Peru, which is where the wood is from.
