Pen 2
I used the Artisan Deco pen kit. I made it from a solid bar of copper that was drilled out and glued the tube in to make sure the parts fit right, then turned it on the lathe with carbide tools and polished on lathe, then buffed out. After buffing I used a ball peen hammer and peened the entire surface which took forever by the way.

My initial idea was to turn a pen from a single piece of Malachite, but in the end I decided to make it more interesting by adding some brass and a different shade of the semi-precious stone to the ends. The stone was drilled with a standard HSS drill and the initial turning was done with P80 sandpaper with a piece of plywood backing. Finished of with carbide tipped tools. No Finish was required as buffing brought out the beauty of the stone.

Nice gesture but not necessary. You both have a lot to proud of, as does each and every entry in all of the BASH contests. If you don't mind, I'm going to let this poll run it's course.
Thank you
Bob
