Just a couple more that I just finished at 1am this morning. First one is a Orange and Black Pearlescant Acrylic w/ Chrome Hardware. Second is a pen and pencil set from Olive Wood. Any comment good or bad will be greatly appreciated. These are the 4th, 5th, and 6th pens I have ever turned...

This wood was given to me from one of my oxygen patients. I told him if he would saw it up I'd make him a pen out of it. The next time I was at his house he had me a arm load of this spalted maple. So this is his pen in trade for the wood. I'll keep you all posted I will probably be selling...

Ok, first off I'll start by saying TY to Peter for the rebar idea. I decided to make it my own a little by adapting it to be a single barrel "slimline". Most of my tools are in storage awaiting the finish of my new shop(another thread) so I had limited tools on hand to work with. I had at my...

One of my first complex segment successes. This is purple heart and teak in a slimline style. LOML grabbed this one right away. Right after this one, I moved on to better kits. Have only made a handful of slimlines since.

Made these 7 pens (odd # I know) for 2 coworkers (and both previous pen customers) wedding. They are TN slim and softgrips with cross clip. I wish they made the clip in TN as I hate to use the 10k gold plate but thats what the customer wants. The B.O. w/ cross clip in slim/soft grip and the...

Ive made several slimline pens but have noticed on a couple that after they are pressed together at least a week later the wood will crack where I pressed in the front part of the pen kit. I usually leave a large amount of wood at the end of the pen so if you have a reason that this is...

I spent a little more time in the shop today. I hadsome pens to turn out. The slimline pen is bocote, I made it in exchange for a box full of exotic wood, The next one was a birthday present for my wife's boss, it is a wallstreetII click pen with osage orange, a co-worker of my wife ordered the...

This desk pen is made from cocobolo with a couple of captive rings.

After a few posts and an introduction, I took some pictures this weekend of some of my pens. This slimline is birdseye maple, although I took the wrong view and you really can't see the birdseyes. I've been using this pen almost daily for the past 5 years. The original finish was probably tung...
