The Three Presidents

Here are better pictures of the El Presidente pens. Please comments are welcome.

Thuya Burl.

Buckey Burl

Amboyna Burl.

When cap posted on the end, these pens are very large but very well balanced. The bushing create some funkey angle when turning. When I assembled the first one I thought they where crooked. But ends up they just take some getting use to. All and all I enjoyed turning these new kits and look forward to BB's next offering.

Thanks for looking. I have thick skin so tell me what you think.

No need for thick skin on these, they all look great!

Very nice pens... nicely shaped and finished
still not sure I like the look of the kits especially the end of the bottom barrel, but then again I said the same thing about the Atlas until I turned one and saw it up close and personal... []
Then again it might make the perfect beginning for a large solid body pen...

Beautifull pens and workmanship Daniel. They all came out great. Hard to pick, but I really like amboyna.

Be careful with having thick skin, someone might want to try to wrap some of it around a tube & put in resin.[:0] Great looking pens. My personal preference if the BEB.

Those look very nice. Very nice woods. Your photos look very clear, but the rose tones are a little dominant. Are you using a rose colored bulb by chance?

I have made several of those. I agree with Griz though as far as the look of the finished kit. I have had several people ask me what the end piece was for. The kit does not look finished at the tail end. I have several of the kits left, and have been thinking about a closed end design myself.

Thanks for the look.

Nice one Bill...LOL. The woods are great but I think I am in the "not my favorite kit" camp.

Three more nice ones, Daniel!

Thuya burl is awsome wood and does this pen proud.

Nice set of pens, and the wood is some really nice stuff.
