Desire Amboyna New Hampshire

[mikespenturningz]

Here is one from tonight. This piece of amboyna is just stunning. I love working with it. The stainless steel hardware is awesome to work with too. It lets the wood really stand out but add just enough to it..

Hope you like it.

Mike, this is a great pen. I love the amboyna, great choice with thae Desire. I just bought some myself and can't wait to try one out!

Great looking pen. I've got a Desire that I've got a desire to turn now!:biggrin:

Great pen mike. You're the man.

I just git one is these kits and the clip had gunk on. Waiting to hear from constant.

any issues with the metal on metal threads unscrewing too easily for you?

Love making the liberty kits though so far.

 

[mikespenturningz]

I have made quite a few of these, the liberty and the Marksman and they are all very nice. The threads are not like other threads but they are still nice but in a different way. I think I still have about 25 or 30 of the stainless hardware in one form or another. I am trying to build a larger Made in USA section of my Etsy store...

Here's a piece of timber that needs no segmenting to get to the next level....well done!
As always, you have 'nailed' the fit-n-finish!!!

A Beautiful Pen, Mike,
The Glorious Blank, is equally enhanced by the Stainless Kit.
Magnificent Fit and Finish.

There is going to be some segmenting on the horizon. I have some really beautiful Gabon Ebony that looks like it needs some aluminum.

Beautiful pen, great fit and finish. I really like the kit and it's such a great match with the blank.

 

[MikeL]

One of my favorite woods. Great job with it.

 

[Ted iin Michigan]

Love that kit. You can make a nice pen out of just about anything with it. But you, sir, have created a stunning piece of work. Big time congrats on an excellent job! If something can be screwed up on the Desire, it's the fit but yours is spot on. Nice pic, too.

 

[Dale Allen]

Excellent execution on that one. Also a great hardware blank matchup.

 

[Bob Wemm]

Mike, that is absolutely beautiful. The kit/blank match is perfect and a stunning finish to top it off.
Congratulations,

Bob.

Lovely pen. Mike. I hope to come visit you this summer when school vacation sets me free. I'd love to see your workshop. Is that OK?

 

[keithbyrd]

Great job! Amboyna is sweet to work with and you did it right!

 

[mikespenturningz]

I would be delighted to show you my workshop but don't think it is some fancy place. I am very much minimal on my shop...
