I was looking through some pens last night and I found my absolute, most favorite pen. it is a JohnU blank, turkey feathers on a black titanium sierra. I think i'm going to put it onto one of the elegant sierra blanks better. the blank is just absolutely amazing, the pearlesence of the feathers is amazing. honestly, i hope I never sell it.

wondering what everyone elses favorite pen they have made. Im gonna try and get some pics when i get some sun shining.

My all time favorite is the lone star flag on black and gold titanium sierra- I've sold over 100 of these, and probably sold that many more as blanks to other pen turners.

If your asking about a pen we made, I made a series of these in the Emperor,Jr.Emperor and Jr, Statesman. These are my all time favorites.

My favorite Fountain pen is my Aluminum and brass hooded nib . I love writing with this pen , it just glides across the paper .



My favorite Ballpoint is my Honduran Rosewood Click Cigar pen . This pen has a great feel and looks fantastic .

My favorite currently is this one. The same one I use in my signature line.

But I'm fickle and will soon make another that will be my next favorite pen.

My favorite is a Chittam burl Jr Satesman I turned several years ago. I love talkin to a group of turners and the conversation almost always turns(pun intended) to unusual woods. The inevitable question always comes up."Ever turned any Chittam Burl?" I proudly show it off!

My favourite that I made is a Shag Bark Hickory Burl Stretch rollerball. Manny sent me the wood in a recent pen swap.

My favourite pen that I own though is the pen I received in that swap, a closed end black titanium Jr Statesman fountain made from amboyna burl. I still haven't seen a pen even close to that good.

I have two favorites personally.

This one is a Wolftat blank on a satin chrome WS II kit from WC. I have not been able to make myself give this one away yet. lol

My favorite is a Navigator with Lou's nib. It's had a couple of different barrels on it over the past year I've been writing with it. heh I keep tearing it down and putting different dressings on it. But the furniture is all the same.

My favorite ballpoint is recent... The red white blue and stainless I got in the PITH from Skiprat.

Well I have a favorite (not a more favorite or most favorite) but unfortunately my picture taking/posting skills are even lower than my turning skills, which still leave a lot to be desired. I will say this though, I have seen so many really nice pens on this site or the websites of some members that I could never name one as "favorite" and will very likely never make one that belongs in that class.

Wrigley Field Pen

It's gotta be the Wrigley Field outfield bench pen I made. I purchased a piece of a bench when they replaced some of them at Wrigley Field. I made this pen for my nephew who is a huge Cub fan. I don't even know what type of wood it is.

Here is my favorite that I've made. I made it as a gift for the pastor that married me and my wife. I've made several like it, but this one was absolutely perfect! You're welcome Hans! :wink:
