This is a collection of pens that I did recently for an entry to be chosen for a club exhibit. They were selected for the 'Texas Turned' exhibit at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft going on right now.
The hardest part of doing pens like these is making the blanks. It is alot of little pieces, and a lot of glue.
