New Turnings

[peterborough66]

Finally managed a little Shop Time and here are some of the results:

Chrome Cartridge Twist with Redwood, Elegant Sierra in Leather, no Finish on this as per SWMBO, and finally a Chrome Triton BP in Yellow Cedar Burl that I received from Lin in the July PITH, Thanks again Lin that is very nice to turn. C&C welcome as always

Very well thought out pens as far as wood and fitting match up. Could use a little better backround, not so grainy, and a little better placement of lites to get rid of the shadows. Nice fit and finish. Jim S

Nice looking pens, Good fit and finish. Why did your SWNBO not want a finish on the leather?

Jim, agreed the photo's need some work, took them in a hurry before I left for work.

Dan, she just likes the feel of the unfinished leather rather than leather with a finish on it.

Thanks to both for the kind comments

I would think that over time, the leather would get that nice, soft, used feeling….kinda like your favorite belt, a good pair of leather shoes/boots. I've got a favorite leather gun holster that I will never part with due to the fact that it fits and feels so nice! A pen that gets that kind of attention is a winner!

I have to say that Yellow Ceder Burl is really nice as are the others.
