Some of This Weeks Pens

[JD Combs Sr]

Turned these over the past week or so. I don't keep a lot of inventory but what I did have was extremely low so need to make a few.

This was a birthday present for our Pastor.
PSI Chrome Executive dressed in a combination of BOW and Dogwood. I will be posting more about this one in the "Penturning" forum.


From L to R
1st. One of Smitty's chrome cigar pens dressed in copper mesh.
2nd. A bits and pieces Slimline/Streamline dressed in old rocking chair maple. The apparent knot holes are actually nail holes with fill. Had a left over Streamline center band and put it on a Black Ti. Slimline.
3rd. A WC Cobalt Gold SL dressed in stabilized highly spalted Maple.
4th. A PSI GunMetal click Vertex dressed in a PSI Gold/Grn swirl blank.


A closer look at Smitty's Cigar.

Very nice! All are well turned and finished.

I really like that cigar. I actually didn't think I'd like that copper, but now I want one.

Thanks Jonathon, appreciate the comment.

Thanks Hexhead, wish I could take credit for coming up with this type of blank but got my inspiration from one of these guys:
- Brian at Ruby Pen Turning
- Finatic
- John T.
or
- John aka Gawdeplus
(there is probably a dozen more that I have missed but you get the idea)
Not sure which one I saw first but they all make first rate pens using braid.
Got two more planned, one will be copper on a copper hybrid cigar(just saw one like I am planning in one of the above fellas threads) and the other will be on standard copper cigar.

Nice looking pens. I really like the braided one.
