These were turned before my shoulder surgery last week. [V]
The first is a UG Baron Rollerball dressed in Curly KOA.
The Second is Black TI Baron Fountain dressed in Mesquite.
There is a story behind the Koa Rollerball. This was originally to be my first CE Baron. I miss calculated the lengh of the blank, and did not catch it until I went to assemble. Then I asked for directions. Next time I'll read the directions before I start! [B)]
Anyway, after carefully trimming the end until I got to an open hole on the band saw, I was able to salvage the blank. I just couldn't let this piece of koa go to waste. Way too figured.
Not too sure about the shape of the second pen. I think that the top is too heavy and bulbous. May have to dissasemble and reshape.
Awaiting your most welcome critique and comments.

BTW. The blanks are from Dario. Beautiful wood, Thanks again.
