It is the first pen I have turned that wasn't a slimline. All comment and critiques are welcome. Thanks for looking.

D DLGunn Member Joined Jul 31, 2009 Messages 285 Location Paragould, AR Aug 21, 2009 #15 Thanks for the positive comments. No, glycerine, the dust did not affect me at all. About the only thing that bothers me is dust from MFD. And once I bought a lathe, I have almost forgot about flat work.

I like them a lot - the size shows the wood off nicely and I like the heft and feel in my hand. Great first pen, the blank finished off nicely. What did you do for the finish?
