First Pen Complete

[marshall1225]

Completed 1st pen and I think I did a pretty good job. The only issue I have is everyone is asking what type of wood I used and I do not have a clue. I purchased a package of 12 blanks on sale from Rockler and nothing was labeled nor did it list any types of wood included. Here are a few poorly taken photos of the pen. If anyone thinks they may know what type of wood it is please let me know.

well hate to say it.. but now that you have seen your ability to make something so pretty.. you will be addicted! VERY nice work. WAY better than my first for sure!

That is an outstanding first pen!

The first picture makes it look like Walnut, but I can't tell for certain.

Maybe white oak?

Anyways, keep the pen. It was advised to me and I'm so glad I did. I enjoy looking at my first pen often

It's definitely your first heirloom pen! haha
