Looks good, good, and great! Am I the only one that feels like the new turners are putting my learning curve to shame?
GREAT first pens! I can't wait to see more of your work!

From what I can tell, the CA came out very nice. Not a big fan of wax. The fit also looks good. Pencil looks slight off at the nib, but that could be just the photo. Looks like you have the technique down and should have no problem in exploring other kits.
Thanks everyone, with out all of you guys sharing tips and tricks I would have been totally lost. The pencil fit is off some, it should have been turned closer and it has a couple of small cracks in it. Not sure what to say about the CA finish, after applying, sanding, reapplying and still getting it wrong I should have about 400 coats on it, but I guess thats how you learn. This last time after sanding I put on 5 coats of CA and am happy with the results but I some white streaks in it which I think I read are pockets of dust that didnt clean out.
Does anyone know were you can buy pen kits and supplies around Little Rock, Ar?
Thanks Again

Google would be you friend here. See if there is a Woodcraft near you. JMHO, but with their cost hikes...shipping is cheap in comparison.

Very nice for your 1st 3. My 1st 2 were not even in the same league as yours. Nice looking CA finish. But I'm also a fan of the natural finish. Sometimes I just want wood to look like wood.
I also sent you a PM about local place to buy blanks.

Very nice job for your first three pens. I like the lines you did on these pens. Not much if any of the wasp look to them.
