Pen 1
This is my third pen, I cast the blank myself with PR, and the pen is a Sierra Ball point pen.I finished it with CA finish. I've taken the photos myself with Dad's camera. I've called the pen Fire and Brimstone.

Pen 2
The pen is a chrome slimline made out of a turquoise acrylic. After I turned the pen I sanded it to 1000 grit paper. Then I wet sanded it with micro-mesh. Then I polished it with Plastx polish.

Pen 3
PSI Celtic Pen in Ancient Bog Oak with aluminum and basswood Celtic knot inlay. This is my first attempt at a Celtic knot, cut by hand on a miter box with a blank that was not square!. I learned a lot. I didn't want a glossy CA finish, I wanted a more natural finish, so I did BLO and CA with a wax topcoat. Thanks for looking.

Pen 5
This pen is made by simplest hardware: 7 millimeters "slimline". I took European oak and maple. I chosen chess style because it's very modern and popular today. My wooden pen has got elegant and convenient form for writing. I've got many creative ideas and I promise to show you! Thank you for your attention.

Great pens & lots of good ideas that I need to try out this year.

All of the pens are well done. It's humbling to know they were done by such young turners….it's getting mighty competitive out there! Had to really wrestle to get it down to just one!

There are several here that could be the "best"!
Really tough to choose just one! Great job by all! You should be very, very proud of your creations!
