Is it a pen? Or is it a decoration?

[hewunch]

I made this for the Christmas pen swap for our SC club. It is maple and purpleheart. In the windows you see a Christmas tree. Comments welcome. The guts are slimline and it does not separate (1 pc).

I'm gonna figure out a way to avoid using one of your blanks this time JUST IN CASE. Still feel like I owe you a nicer pen.

Pretty neat little pen, I like the windows!

Nice to see new ideas applied to pen turning. Great pen.
I had an interesting from a friend to turn a dip pen. It is something I have never done before mainly because I have never seen a kit for a dip pen. Anyone know who has these kits for sale? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Kewl pen. How many of your lathes did you use to make this pen? :wink:

Do a search for "speedball" nibs. I am not sure, but that might be what you are looking for. I think "the golden nib" has them, others likely do as well.
