Panache

[Penultimate]

Greetings
Quite awhile ago i purchased some blanks from Gerry Rhodes and I finally got to make a pen with one. I got a blank about 7/8" diameter and 5 inches long. Too short for a kitless and I didn't want to waste a lot of the material by turning it all down. Then I remembered I had a Panache kit. Problem solved there was just enough material for both tubes. I don't know what the material is, it machined nicely but made a lot of dust. It shined up very nicely.
Thanks for lookin'

Good looking pen. That's a tough pen to get right--shows every dip in my turning. Great work on a tough material!!
