I spent most of the weekend cleaning up my shop and putting things away. I did get one pen finished though...Green & Gold Box Elder Burl. It's hard to see it in the photo but there are a lot of distict "eyes" on the upper barrel. At times the BEB can be really nice.:)

Saweeeeet!!! Very nice work.

Since these statesmen kits are the same bore as the gentlemens, what size blanks do you recommend? I just got a few of the gentlemens in for a special birthday present (50th) for my oldest brother. I'm hoping I can do these with 3/4" or 7/8" as that is what I have coming from Lee Tree woods.

Fine looking piece of wood Gary and a finer looking PEN. I cleaned my shop today too, but didn't get any work done. I guess I had a bigger mess than you. If they trimmed the end on this like the Statesman and incoporated some thread in the design. I think that it would be the best kit out there by far.

Thanks Chuck...this is a Jr. Statesman; the 3/4" blanks work just fine.
 
As long as your drilling jig is tight, the 3/4" will work. Ever since I got my Sidevise from Paul in OKC I've been able to use smaller blanks for the larger pens!

I agree Anthony, I wish they would make that an alternate kit. Why don't you call CSUSA and see if you can influence a design addition.
 
Nice looking pen Gary. I am curious though, you turn a nice pen, you take a decent photo...but you have no photo album. Is there a reason for that? Just wondering.

Tim, it's called procrastination. I'm a fairly new IAP member, and I was thinking about that the other day. I do need to get some photos uploaded to an album. I'll make a point to do that in the next few days. Thanks for reminding me.
 
Gary, they don't want to hear from a quack like me [:D] But if I owned one of the supply companies, I would have my R&D or at the very least, some staff person reading these posts to see what we really want and what we would buy. [:p]
 
Gary,
You better get cracking on that photo album. with pens like that photos are soon going to be all you have to remember them by :)
very nice.
