These are the first pens I have shown on here. Phil (firewhatfire) got me started and I am loving every minute of it. Photos aren't that great, learning that as I go also. I know there will be more bad than good. Thanks for looking..
1st time showing my work...

Those are very nice pens. Nice selection of wood and kit. I really like the darker one of the two.

Those look pretty good to me.
Nice fit n' finish. The wood selection is good.
I first turned a pen at Woodcraft's "Turn for Troops", and they had us using Mylands Friction Polish. With the advice of people on hear (as well as on line videos), I've pretty much had to teach myself through trial and error. I'm just now starting to get pens looking that good. It helps to have someone else to bounce ideas and theories off of.
Thanks for the pics, and don't hesitate to post more.

I am gonna make a pen turner out of him yet...It's funny that I am the one teaching as I just crawled out from under the sawdust pile myself and got started a few months ago.
He may be teaching me before its all said and done.
