Chris - You're either a good teacher or she's a good student (or both!)

Looks good!

The pen is really a vibrant royal purple, but it looks more blue in the pic.

Very nice pen. When my wife asked if she could give it a try, I told her I barely trust her with a paint brush in her hand, how am I supposed to trust her with a sharpe object.[:0]

My wife and I have in business together for the last 3+ years... It was difficult at first "letting go" since I was <b><u>the turner</u></b>, but she's a natural and now has her own lathe (a Jet) and is really good at what she does. Naturally we have differences in the processes we use, but the end result is the same. Get her going, Chris, then let her go. I learned a long time ago that <b>how</b> it gets done doesn't matter, it's <b>what</b> gets done []. Choose your battles wisely and remember that your way is not the only way. Sharing is a wonderful thing!
