When I first started turning pens my wife told me, "Now, these are nice, but don't think that you can give me one for my birthday or Christmas." A couple of months later, she casually asked me when I was going to make her pen. I had assumed that she didn't really want one, but it turned out that she just didn't want one as a present. I promptly took her into the garage and had her pick out a blank. She chose a box elder burl. Then Christmas came and I had to make about 20 pens for a custom order/ other presents. I got lazy in January, then the Bash, finally last week I decided that I had put it off long enough. (Luckily, I've married a forgiving woman.) Box elder burl fatline with walnut burl centerband on chrome slimline.
