I've only been turning pens for a brief while, but I'm pretty happy with my progress. Here are a few of my most recent pens. Both pens have a CA/BLO finish. The first is my favorite. It's on one of ElMostro's odd lot blanks on a black titanium Jr Statesman. This has got to be the hardest material I've turned so far. I had to stop to sharpen my tools atlest 5 times over the course of this pen. took probably 1 hour to turn and sand, but I love the look. By far the best $6 I've ever spent on a blank.
The second is an Amboyna Burl on a Gold Statesman. I made this one for a friend who's given me alot of side work over the last couple of years. I've had it for a couple of weeks, and I keep telling him if he doesn't pick it up I'm going to start using it for my day to day pen. The burl is from Harris Burl Supply.
The last photo is just a snapshot of my pen box. I'm trying to build up a stock of a few. I guess I'll have to start trying to sell some once the box gets full. Right now I like looking at them so much it's hard to think about letting one go.
Comments are always welcome.
