I rarely keep any of my pens but this is a keeper

[GPDMTR25]

I recently lost my job so money is tight therefore if I can sell a pen, no matter how much I like it, I sell it. I end up keeping the mistake pens But I absolutely love this pen. So I'm keeping it!

 

[Nickfff]

wow, excellent job! how do you make those cuts?

 

[glycerine]

That's awesome! Do you have a dovetail jig?

 

[TurnaPen]

Very Nice keeping it all centered like that. Ive always wanted to try that but Im not that good with my router and jig. I'd keep it too!

Great job on that pen .
I keep saying "I'm gonna clean off my router table and play with my incra" . Which system you have ? Mine is the "Ultra lite" .

Somebody has an INCRA Jig!!! Nice job of following the eagle directive -- Drill on the center of the pattern, not necessarily on the centrer of the blank ---

 

[leehljp]

I don't blame you for keeping that one! Beautiful work!

 

[CSue]

Way cool!

 

[lane223]

Be careful, pens like that seem to grow legs and walk away from you. Nice pattern!

 

[cnirenberg]

That's the one to keep. Beautiful job.

GRAND work..I'd keep it too...cause I could afford to stop eating for at least a month..a sacrifice not too big for a great pen

 

[nava1uni]

That is amazing. I am in awe.

 

[seawolf]

WOW I can't believe how many nice comments there are

I just checked back on the thread and read all the wonderful comments. I was rather surprised. The blanks is Walnut and Maple. I don't have a Incra system, althought that is what was used to cut it, so member Low_48 made it. I first marked the center of the blanks then I rounded it on the lathe then drilled it on the lathe so the pattern would be centered. I used CA, about 8 coats or maybe more, for the finish. I do woodworking so I really like this one.

THanks for all the comments
