A CUSTOMER CAME IN TO PICK OUT THE COLORS OF SHAKER TAPE SHE WANTED ON HER SHAKER ROCKERS AND SPIED THIS PEN STILL ON THE LATHE..I EXPLAINED WHAT IT WAS GOING TO BE (a double closed end with a custom centerband) AND SHE BOUGHT IT BEFORE IT WAS DONE...WHEN IT WENT INTO HER PURSE I BELIEVE IT WAS STILL WARM FROM BUFFING! LUCKILY I REMEMBERED TO GET A QUICKY PICTURE..

Nice pen! The CB looks pretty slick! I personally don't care much for the blank, but the execution is flawless.



it always feels good when someone wants something before it is even complete. I sold a pendant that way at my first art show. I was doing demos on pendants and this lady bought the work in progress.

That is a tall compliment...someone who has the faith in your work to purchase something before it is even finished. The pen looks fantastic.
