8 Curly Maple Pens

[Hartwell85]

My friend asked me to make eight pens that he would use as Christmas presents for family members. The curly maple pen blanks were cut-offs from a blanket chest his father-in-law made several decades ago. His father-in-law harvested the maple tree from his farm in Ohio and processed it into lumber to make the blanket chest.
