first pen ever 13 years old

[Cody Winters]

If you gave me some pen stuff well here is the stuff in use. Slimline padauk with gold. Had so much fun turning it.:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Has good shape. Great job.

 

[OOPS]

Cody: Thats a nice looking pen! A great first effort. I really like padauk myself because it looks so beautiful when finished. I hope this gets you excited about doing even more.

Thanks for showing us your first one. Be sure and keep it so you can see how you get better at pen making over time. My first pen sits right next to my computer so I use it often.

Looks good... I second keeping your first pen.. Someone asked me for mine and I didn't think about so I gave it to them...:frown:

Very well done Cody! I was so excited when i made my first pen that someone offered to buy it from me and i sold it right then. A year later, I convinced that same customer to let me make them a new pen of their likings in trade for my first pen back. Boy did i get lucky, wheeeeww!

Word of advice

Good job. I have never made slim because of the tenon involved.

Keep the first pen. After you get a few pens under your belt go back and look at it. You will see everything you did wrong, what you should have have done, and most importantly how much you have improved.

You should also keep your first pen because out of all the other pens you make, this will be the one that gave you the biggest sense of accomplishment.

Great job Cody:RockOn:! I also agree for you to keep this pen. My wife wanted me to save my first one and I'm glad she did. It's kept in a clear tube pen holder. Keep up the great turning.
