Good start, the pen looks good from here.

Nice debut, Frank. As Chuck suggested, check out the photography forum. We would all like to see more of your pen.

THAT IS much better ! Very nice finish ! I think you did a little research on pen turning befor you even started on this first pen . Am I correct ? If not , you're a natural !!! [8D]

Looks good to me,make sure you keep it or you'll be sorry,I still have my very first one from a few years ago.

Very nice pen, as said above remember to keep it in a safe place as it`s great to look back at your first one to see how you have improved!

Ditto on the pic. I use close-up for my pens. It looks great for a first, or twenty first. Hang onto it. Mine ended up in the dryer and turned all black. I might try to make the "dye job" even, so I can keep it. It looks nasty now, but I'm still keeping it.

Nice job. It's a real thrill to finish the first one. Well, so far it has been a thrill to finish each one for me. Worry about the photo stuff later, that gets just as additive as the pen making!

Well done. As others have said, hang on to it. I didn't with my first, or for that matter the second or third. But I'm not missing anything, they were not as good as yours

Great way to start, very nice first pen, like every one has said keep it, use it as a mark to gauge you turning skill progress. [^][^][^]
