Hi everyone! I've seen amazing work here that is actually quite intimidating but we all start somewhere so I thought I'd show some of my pens. Keep in mind I'm still very much a rookie but any constructive criticism is welcome. I just have a 10" HF lathe I got early this year and with a fulltime job I don't have the free time I wish I could have to spend on learning the craft. These were fun to turn and I look forward to improving my technique and hopefully one day having a piece that I think is actually worthy of bragging about :biggrin:
First four are 8.2mm Euro round tops from BTW. Top to bottom are Gaboon Ebony, Thuya Burl, Black & White Ebony, and Ambrosia Maple. Second set are the same style and done in Pink Ivory, pen & mech pencil. The third is my favorite, a Cambridge rollerball also from BTW. I love writing with this and have a few fountain pen kits I will get around to turning sometime. I hope I didn't waste anybody's time with my rookie offerings and terrible photos, but I wanted to contribute something to the forum besides oohs & ahhs
