give your pens a rest

[watch_art]

Some pen rests I made up the other day for some of the backers.
Had the most fun with the two cedar ones. I worked them with my dremel and a tiny sanding drum. I just sort of zoned out and let the dust fly. :biggrin:

Any science behind the pen rest, or is it just a handy/cool piece to prop the pen on?

No science. Just a good spot to rest a pen with no clip so it doesn't roll off the table.

Go into an oriental store and get some chop stick rests/holders also. We have a bunch somewhere, probably still packed. Your "rests" reminded me of those.

Yeah those are really good too. Whenever we have our pen club meetings - at a Chinese restaurant - we always play with those. One guy stacks up holders and pens in all sorts of ways.

Nice idea. I've had something brewing in the back of my mind along those lines as well.

I like them! I will have to add some of those to the table. Great idea!

I made a stand last night for my upcoming show out of fiddleback maple and cherry. I'll post pics when I get it finished!
