Hi,
I have pen turning quite a bit lately. I have been at two craft shows in the last few weeks, sales were great.:D

These are some pens I felt that I wanted to share.


This is an ebony Statesman pen. I had some problems turning ebony earlier with it blowing up after the pen was done. This is some very dry ebony given to me by Konrad Sauer. This pen is a gift to a friend who has helped me a great deal in developing my hand tool work (furniture).

The following Statesman is another pen in turquoise Try Stone. I have had a lot of demand for pens in this material, it really has a unique look

This is another Statesman pen made with a Tru Stone called White Web

Nice work. I have a solid black, high gloss ebony pen in gold I use at work. There is just somehthing about a nice black pen - it hits the spot and looks professional. Nice work. I like the stone look and I can understand the demand now.

Ahead of the curve. Waaay ahead.
The ebony is fantastic. Clean, classic look.

Thanks for doing a couple in Tru-stone. I was wondering how the Statesman would look in those. I think the turquoise works well enough that someone out there will buy it. It does seem to be a bit too much though. What I'd really like to see is a combination of ebony and turquoise (a lot of the former, not too much of the latter) with the gold statesman for a Southwestern jewelry look. The Statesman is mostly silver, and the hint of gold wouldn't be too much, methinks. The trustone web is okay, but I think you were right to stick with the BT on that.

They all look good to me. Good luck with your ebony. I got one that was cracked all over, but I've never turned one. The only thing I've turned in ebony is a stopper, which is fine still.
