Awesome pens, I haven't turned a pen in the last 6 months but it's work like this that inspires me to try harder

Nice work on all 3 Jim.
I think I lean for the Voilet one the most, but all are great works.

That buckeye burl is my fave!

Three individual pens with one theme closed ends impress individually.

There is someone for each one. What a lot of fun dyeing already beautiful timbers.

The Buckeye Burl glows as it should having been stabilised creating a sensational finish.

Cocobolo finished suitably and the Box Elder changed from a pumpkin to a Princess.

Startling comes to mind but I admire your courage with such success from the normal, where to from here?

Thankyou for showing me just what imagination can acheive and startle factor enough to have the impact to pose just what we can do also to take the leap into another realm in the world of Pens. The final push was to close those ends creating colour shape and form way from normal.

Stirring and brave, well done it sure pushed my imagination and opportunity, as well as buttons to create more bravely/ get into or out of my normality for fun.

Regards Peter.

Nicely done, I like 'em all! Dont know why, but I am partial to the shape of the first one. Perhaps it is because the wood tells the story and doesnt need any shape embellishment.

Jim, the pens look great, hard to decide on a favorite!!

 

[Mrs Rojo22]

Each and every one is a true stunner!!!

 

[Greg O'Sherwood]

I think I like the Rosewood best, the closed end shape is very appealing. I like them all though, in case you can't figure out which one to send me...

:wink:

 

[Rick_G]

Very nice Jim. I guess my next project will be to make a closed end chuck to try that. :wink:

 

[Dalecamino]
