Red Blaze in March

[Pen_Turner_Dan]

Hey guys, I have put turning aside for almost 10 months now due to college, but I saw this blank over at ExoticBlanks.com and had to try it. So I came home for spring break, and knocked this out in 4 hours. Camera is bad, but hope you enjoy it! Feedback is welcome! Used a wax/polish finish, haven't mastered the CA finish and was short on time :frown:

Anyway, Have a great March!

Beautiful work on the sweetgum balls!

Is that what these are? They are so tiny, the sweetgum trees here grow them to the size of baseballs! Hit one with a lawn mower are watch the neighbors run!



Cool look on the pen though. Even with some 'funny lighting' for the photo's.....it still looks nicely done.

Great pen! You should see if your campus has a lathe in their workshop! If not, recommend it!
