Tried a new (for me) pen style

[DaveO]

Here's my attempts a a couple Euro style pens. First time using Acrylic, man, that stuff stinks and is a real pain as the shavings wrap themselves around the blanks Photography skills are about as accomplished as my pen turning...they both still need a lot of work.

Thanks for looking

I dont know about needing a lot of work, they look good to me. I like the colors in the bottom acrylic.

Looks like you did a great job. A nice dust collection system eliminates the acrylic wrapping around the blank. The DC sucks the long strands away from the turning blank. Also cuts down on the sanding dust that stinks the shop up too.

Cheers,

Good job. Fit and finish look great. I like your "Christmas pen" the best.

pens look great. wait till you turn antler, it stinks to high heaven.

but the stink is well worth the outcome of the pen.

Nice pens, my top vote goes to the Christmas pen too! Where is that red and green acrylic from?

Wow, my wife hates the "Xmas Pen" she doesn't care for the colors. I like it. It actually isn't a Xmas blank, it's a Mardi Gra blank from Woodcraft..go figure??? Thanks for all the kind comments, stuff like this keep me turning out pens, I know that someone appreciates them. Too bad ya'll don't buy them [][][][]
