Here are a couple new shapes, at least for me, fresh off the Beall Pen Wizard...can you guess what the Wiz setup looked like?

Thanks everyone. Here's a photo of the bur I'm using. It's the 1/8" square-end mill sold by Beall. The setup and process is exactly as JR shows in his YouTube video on making a six sided (polygonal) pen (cut from the side, not the top). except he has disengaged the spiraling gears and I did not.
The trick with this twist pattern is getting down in the groves to sand. There is a real easy way to do this - use cloth backed sandpaper, tear a strip off about 1/4" wide and 6" long, then twist the sandpaper into a long tube. Think of toweling your back dry after a shower - that's the process.
Think I need to make a video on this, huh...?
Towel my back dry??? Isn't that what the wife is for!?:biggrin:

Ed the pen looks great, I'm going to have to give that a try someday.
