Atherton Pens

Here's a pair of poplar pens made as gifts for my cousin and his wife. The pens aren't special, but the wood has some significance. The wood came from a full cut 2x4 poplar stud from a house over 100 years old. My cousin owns the house as a rental property and in early December it caught fire. The stud was salvaged and they wanted pens as keepsakes. Poplar is NOT the best of woods and the unpredictable dark grain makes the pens look dirty, but that's just the way the grain happens. Comments are welcome, but again these are not presented as "show pens".
