I usually only watch the Bash, but decided this year to make a pen. I thought most would make Sierra style or Jr style pen, so I would make something different. I've always been a fan of the long clicker, as it really shows off the grain of wood. My only complaint with that kit is that it needs to be a 1/2 inch shorter to fit in your shirt pocket.
The wood I chose was a piece of Bethlehem Olive Wood I had laying around. The finish is 5 coats of thin flex ca. This was fun to make, as it's the last pen for me for a while. I'm in the process of moving into an apartment, and have no room for a lathe. But I have good friends from IAP that will allow me to swing by and use theirs :0
Again, thanks for the votes, and thanks for supporting the Bash!!
