Wow, finally just threw things out of the way and made a pen. First time for this style for me. Wood is Bocote, CA finish. Kit from AS. Photography still poor, but hey, it was still fun
First pen in a year!

Just a little ol' vise some guy asked me to try out[
]It helped as the blank was a little under 5/8 x 5/8".

Are you saying that you also make pens[]? Or in this case one a year[]...Looks great Paul but just wondering after seeing pictures of your garage-shop where were you standing (outside[?]).

Well, I figured it would look better since I make pen stuff if I also made at least one! And standing outside would have given me more room!Originally posted by OKLAHOMAN

Good looking pen! I like the finish on it.
Try this for your photography... shine a shop light through a piece of white bed sheet and take the picture without additional flash. You should get enough light without the reflections. Shoot... being the toolmaker you are you could make up a frame from some scrap material and stretch some fabric over it to diffuse the light.
It's good to get away from the grind awhile and spend some time on yourself. []
