I'm finally getting pics of some of my pens posted. The focus isn't great on these. I should have used my tripod with the digital camera (an older one with not great focusing). I have more pics yet to be developed on some film (old school) with my old Nikon on a tripod. Hope to get those developed this weekend.
These first two pens were designed for my wife who has carpal tunnel. I took the blanks off the lathe about 4 or 5 times during the turning process to make sure it would fit her hand perfectly. She ended up giving the amboyna burl pen to my cousin who is a teacher and has carpal tunnel. She loves it and says the design allows her to write for extended periods of time. She can also grip the pen about 3 or 4 different ways. The first of these two pics is amboyna burl. The second is east indian rosewood. Neither has a clip since it will be kept in a purse and both used the 7mm slimline black ti kit.
This next pen was made to order as a gift for his fiance. He also did not want a clip. This was made from box elder burl with some red flame using the 7mm streamline ti gold kit.
This next one is a gift for my sister-in-law (also no clip). The wood is a bit proud at the center band. This is lignum vitae.
This last one is curly pyinma and is the one I usually use right now. It has a clip, but that is on the backside of this photo. I wanted to show more of the curly aspect of the wood (along with a bit of the natural imperfection in the wood).
Once again, sorry about the focus issue with most of these pens. I promise to do better on that for my future photos.
