A pen for me from Emma

[ZanderPommo]

The girlfriend decided to make me a pen a few weeks ago (emmwittle), and this is it. Its my new daily writer, I think its gorgeous.
(this is a reverse from the normal order of things, I usually give her the pretty pens!)

Tell me what you think, is she a keeper?

She did a great job! The finish looks nice. I'd keep her around!

I'm not sure. It's a great looking pen and she did a great job, but if you keep her it will mean you have to share the lathe or buy her, her own. On second thought buy a second lathe it's worth it.

Both are keepers, the girlfriend and pen!

The more I see some of these centerband-less one piece cigar pens, the more I like.She really did a great job with this pen!!!

It looks very good. I would like to know more of how to make a pen like that. How do you do the twist mechanism and do you have to drill the blank from both ends?

Beautiful pen. I like the wood a lot. Spalting certainly increases the beauty of the wood.
