Russline Pen & Pencil set

[alamocdc]

Someone saw a few of my Russlines today and asked me if I could make her a pen and pencil set lilke that for her dad for Father's Day. "Sure, no problem.", says I. "What did you just say?", I'm thinking to myself. I mean RL pens are one thing, but pencils are a horse of a different color. Well, at least for my meager abilities. And she wanted it in Rosewood no less. The only rosewood I have came with my PSI starter kit and is predrilled, making things just a little more difficult. Anyway, I'm certain that I'm not the first to do this, but here is my attempt. I hope she is satisfied.

Critique is always welcome.

Very nice. Pencil came out great!

Bill, those look great. Russ lines are fun to turn. How was the rose wood for turning? Kevin

Thanks, guys! Kevin, rosewood turns well enough, it just isn't my favorite and what I have is probably not the best of cuts. The grain can be funny so take it slow and keep your tools sharp as chip out can be a problem (as with just about any hard wood).

Look like Billy-lines to me. I'll not go into this again. You're welcome.[][]

Do a good turn daily!
