Entry #1
Title: Dyed Peppercorn
Description: My neighbor's daughter made this pen herself and tried a CA finish for the first time. My role was only in an advisory capacity only with an absolute minimal hands on.
Entry #2
Title: Cocobolo Clicker
Description: I made this pen as a gift for someone and thought why not submit it in a competition? So, I did and here I am haha. I made this with cocobolo wood and a black titanium slimline click pen kit from PSI. I've matched the grain really well on this pen and finished it with finishing wax after 8 different grits of sandpaper. Personally, I really like it and hope it does well in the competition. Thanks for looking!
Entry #3
Title: Starry Night Shotgun
Description: This Shotgun Roller ball is wrapped in blue died and stabilized buckeye burl from a prize box from last year's youth pen contest. After turning, it was sanded to 600 grit paper then finished with Yorkshire Grit polishing paste. It was 100% completed by the youth entrant with no adult supervision.
