Interesting!

Kinda unusual looking but I love the thought process of finding something and making a pen outta it. It could end up being a favorite!!

Good job!

I must say very interesting....I like it, but interesting......

Very clever - nice job!

 

[Bill Arnold]

Very interesting, Gary! Tall oaks from little acorns, huh? Great use of materials and imagination!!!

How to Make Your Own

If anyone wants to make their own, they're welcome to come to my house and gather up all the acorns they want. 10,000 piece minimum, but they're free. You may have to dodge some rampant squirrels, though...

 

[Fishinbo]

You have outdone yourself! Nice pen

 

[Bubba57]

Be careful the squirrels don't get after it or it'll be buried in your back yard!

This is wonderful pen blank! Excellent piece of work.

Did you 'fill' the acorns, or just hollow them out?
Was always wondering if the acorns were strong enough to handle the 'stresses' of being on a lathe....did you have any 'issues' while trying to drill them?

My thoughts exactly. Pretty neat though.
