Anchors Aweigh

Well, I'd like to take credit for these pens...but I can't. These are two pens that my good friend turned for me and my son, both of us U.S. Navy Vets. Why did Chuck (Dalecamino) turn these for me? Because I didn't want to ruin these beauties until I get more familiar with acrylics etc. I know many of you might tell me to jump right on in, and I will after more practice. These are from some blanks that were shown here a few weeks back from one of our IAP members. It was suggested that I do these in 24kt gold, I chose Brass..like a ships bell. The piece of wood the pens are resting on is a piece of Teak Decking from the Battleship USS California.
Thanks Chuck for turning these for me and I'm sure I'll be sending you a bunch more questions as I begin my acrylic journey.

Chucks a good guy, i've conversed with him a bit through pm's.

And a couple of great looking pens !

I completely understand and can relate with not wanting to goober the blanks up till you're more familiar with acrylics.

It was a pleasure to turn these for you Tom. Even more pleasing to turn the one you gave me
Thanks for the opportunity.

I couldn't agree more with your first sentence. There's more that I hold in high esteem too.
