Hi...the "other" half of the almost-to-be Honeymooners
) Mike used walnut-- I helped for about 1/16th of an inch I think LOL Someone on this site mentioned that walnut was a good 'starter' wood-- so that is what we went with, on top of having an abundance of it as well! hahaha
But let me brag on Mike for a minute!!! My 18 yr old son is impressed with his work-- just came in to get a pen to show his friends!! Imagine that!! And my soon-to-be son in law would like some for his groomsmen & might like to do some of the turning himself. Looks like we might ALL be a pen-turnin'-fool kinda family? hahaha My oldest is a teacher-so she's interested in some of the Dymondwood color-themed woods as well as the Teacher pen. BUT---the really fun news???
Mike was checking out at a nice department store yesterday--and he took some of yalls advice about how to 'market' the pen in a daily basis--so when asked if he needed a pen, he said "no thanks, I prefer this one-- I made it myself"...to which the salesman was impressed (he had the one with the lines) AND also at the counter was a buyer for their store...and SHE is interested in placing an order. So HOW BOUT THAT for his very first foray with his new 'addiction'??? So, keep your fingers crossed for us that that possible order will come to fruition!! Isn't that exciting?????? All that talent..and he's a good kisser too
