My first Designer Pen

[knottyharry]

I have been wanting to make one of these for a while.
I made it from Bethlehem Olivewood.
I only had one glitch, but I won't tell what it was.

One glitch huh? Switch the barrels? Turn the tennon on the wrong end? Glued the CB on upside down? Those are usually the glitches I have.
Do a good turn daily.

For a pen with one blanks reversed it has anice grain effect.
Either that or you took the picture up side down. (&lt;:

Thanks for your replies. I liked the way it turned out.
I always take the blank and mark it with a line so when i'm working on it I know how the grain runs. And that is the way I put it on the lathe. This one is actually the way the grain runs in it.
But I think it's some of the prettiest wood out there.

BOW, one of my favorite woods. Looks like a good job to me.
