#3 slimline in bocote

[duderubble]

I promise I won't post every pen I ever turn but this one is an improvement. I'm finishing off the 5 slimlines in the starter kit while I wait for other kits to arrive. I'll start with CA finishes when my non-stick bushings arrive.

Nice. I love the way Bocote cuts and finishes. I find that it smells a lot like pickles when you are turning it.

 

[duderubble]

It smelled like something anyway!

Well done.

No need to apologize for the thrill of your first pens... We've been there. But, we know about how much money this is going to cost you, and we won't give you even a hint of the hole you are digging.
Welcome and Enjoy!

Looking good. Bocote never disappoints.

The lathe is just a downpayment.

The lathe is just a downpayment.

Ain't that the truth? And only like a 5% downpayment at that.
