12 - Jr Gent II for the Cesar Chavez Foundation

It is indeed nice to reach this stage of completion without a mishap. As I'm sure you all know a wrong move or loss of focus can ruin your day with inlace acrylester. It does buff up to an amazing shine with interesting figure and colors.

Thanks again Ed for finding 2 more kits even though your site said you were out. You are a magician!

Very nice! I actually like inlace acrylester now. I used to hate it.

Me too, but it is always good to be mindful of the stuff in all steps of production.

Wow very cool - beautiful set of pens!

Gorgeous! To make one pen as nice as this is great. To make 12 requires incredible patience and perseverance. Nicely done!

Mark, what a great group of pens. If I managed to do that, I'd be buying a lotto ticket or two...

If I can do it, anyone can. I honestly think I'm a low intermediate turner. I've seen real experts and have been humbled by their skill. I can make pens and other turned items with care and patience like these pens.

Mark well done a great set of pens. Don't think I could make so many as consistent they look great.

Very nice treat when I delivered the pens; to my surprise Paul Chavez was there. He is the son of Cesar Chavez. Quite an enjoyable time. He will host us when we tour the Cesar Chavez National Monument after the holidays.
