Hi,

I’m enjoying the pin chucks I bought from Fanger a lot, well maybe too much!

These are the last two I am going to turn for awhile.


Furniture making is my passion and the summer is my season so it’s time to make some furniture in my shop. Last night I put away all my pen supplies, tools and boxes till later this fall.


This first pen is a natural box elder burl, solid end on a Junior Gentlemen’s kit. It had some natural checks and voids in the blank that I left in tack but supported with thin CA while I turned it.

This last one is a spalted curly maple on a Gentlemen’s kit. I have tried a square tail and a fish tail design on my solid end pens, but I am more into the rounded cigar shape I think…

Anyway, I’ll be around, just not displaying pens much this summer, but I might toss up some furniture as I finish it on the Casual Forum..

Again, Hope to meet some of you in Louisville at the AAW…

They are both beautiful, I like the maple but I think I prefer the shape of the first one. I am working on my first closed end pin right now so this is great inspiration!

Thanks Every One,

I do like the box elder, but the maple will be my user as a fountain pen I think.

Jim,

I forgot to post that your style (pen shapes) inspired me a lot and I am actually trying to copy some of them but I know it will take some to time to get it right.

Hope you still post regularly...even just to BS with us [;)][:D].
