Gnome Pen

[qquake]

My good friend recently hosted a painting night at her house with some of her lady friends. Lauren decided to paint a gnome in my likeness. I was deeply touched! I wanted to do something for her to show my appreciation. She loves my pens, and I've made several for her. I looked for a gnome pen blank, but couldn't find anything. Kenny Durrant graciously offered to cast a gnome label blank for me. It's fantastic! Lauren is going to love it. Thank you Kenny! The kit is a Woodcraft Wall Street II satin w/chrome. It's the same as a Berea Sierra Elegant.

It's difficult to see all the detail in the blank, so I made the classic "rotate the pen" video. It's not very good, but gives you an idea of the details in the blank. Kenny even added Lauren's initials.

Thanks for the compliment Jim. Glad I was able to help. I'd like to add one thing to his description. It's not a label. It's a vinyl logo cut on a Silhouette machine then ironed on cloth. You did a great job turning the blank.

However you made it, it looks fantastic! I can't thank you enough! Lauren is going to be very surprised and happy.

Beautiful pen, and awesome work on the blank.

I don't see a seam at all. How did you do that?

It's in the mail, she should get it tomorrow.

It's too much typing to explain but you just need to get the seam tight. Glad you noticed. I put a lot of effort into that.

If there's a seam, I sure can't see it.

Very nice pen. Great job Kenny. This is why this is such a great site.
