Cocobolo Pencil

[latelearner]

This is my first attempt at a mechanical pencil. The wood is cocobolo purchased from an IAP member. Excuse the terrible pic, but I'm certainly no photographer. Be gentle with the critiques.:beat-up:

I guess if I had to pick a favorite wood, it would be Cocobolo. I absolutely love to turn and finish it!
Looks like you did a good job on it! Keep turning! Most of all, keep having fun!
(Me, too. 2 years in Nam. Absolutely the worst years of my 70.)

Beautiful pencil! I'm a Nam era vet, too, but I was in the Pentagon handling the KIA and MIA reports when we were still "advisors!"
