First attempts

The pen on the left is my first pen. I started turning about a week ago. Never used a wood lathe before. I'm using carbide tools from Rockler.

One week huh? Great start! My first pens were....well...pretty interesting, so much so that I hid them.

Your off to a great start.

You are off to a GREAT start!

Any info on your finishing process?

Wow! Nice looking pens. And only turning for a week. You're off to a great start...

Really great start there!

Well done indeed. I really like the changes in color. Was it done with a stain or segmented pieces?

 

[Jack Parker]

Those are some fine looking pens. Great work!

I've been playing with mixing different types of wood. Walnut, cocobola, oak, and one I don't know what it is. I bought an assorted pack of blanks from Rockler, but it was all the same light wood. The pen on the right is all that wood.

Thanks for all the support guys.

Well, at least you aren't starting slow! Segmented pens right away - nice.

Segmented AND kitless. WOW! Great work.
