Well I was pushed into making my boss's boss a pine cone PR JR Gent II pen. I really didn't want to but that's what he wanted along with two PR keychains and a PR cigar. Well this must have had a huge pine cone in it as the upper section which I was done turning was almost all pine cone all the way around. I kept my tools sharp, even stopped a couple times while working on the cap end to sharpen, and still the end ripped off on me. I was going to try to repair it, but the thing was glued so well to the tube when trying to get it off of there it ended up breaking the tube open. This is the second time I have had issues. I just am some what venting here only because I allowed someone to push me into turning something I knew would be a pain in the butt lol. Anyways, lesson learned. I am done with any PR pine cone blanks. I emailed him in hopes he will be cool with me using the other part for a key chain and then doing the pen in box elder burl blue.
