Couple Fun Sierras

[Sataro]

A while back, Brian/fool4peppers had some Sierra blanks for sale. I bought a few of them to stick back for a rainy day. Yesterday evening I finally got a chance to turn a couple of them. The blue one really stood out before I started turning it. The red/silver blank looked like a dull gray blank with a little splash of red in it. Looking at the end of the blank, I could see a deep red color. Wow I was impressed after turning these blanks. Both blanks were easy to turn. I was very impressed & satisfied with these blanks from fool4peppers! I've still got about 5 more of these blanks to turn. Can't wait to find time to turn those.

Great Pen Billy,
Very Striking Blank, matches well with the Sierra.
Excellent Fit and Finish.
Congratulations to Billy and Brian.

The red and silver one looks great, it's always fun to see what comes out of the blank you don't expect. Good job

I'm not seeing the blue one though

The centerband on that Sierra looks a little different. Where is the kit from?

Wow that a great looking pen. The blank is a fantastic paring with the kit, great fit and finish.

I can't see the blue one either, but I really like that red & silver one!
I also like the pen holder - I hope you don't mind if I "borrow" that idea.

Can't see the blue one either. Red one looks very interesting indeed, cool blank. And great job with it.

Like Dan said, that center band is different than the ones I've had or seen. Where's it from?

I am wondering if it is a Smitty pen.

Thanks for all of the comments... I do appreciate it.

Sorry about the blue one. I was trying to upload these from my iPad last night. It would only allow me to upload one image. Each time I tried to add the other image, it would just swap out the image for me. Decided either I was tired or it was too late at night or too early in the morning to be trying to upload pics off of the iPad. The red pen kit is a Rockler's pen kit. Here is the missing blue one...

Both pens are looking mighty fine there Billy!
