Grandson's First Pen

[L32]

My 9 year old Grandson Daltons first pen. We were talking one afternoon about different kinds of wood and I told him he could made a beautiful pen from the ugliest piece of wood he could find. We went to the burn pile where he chose a dead apple branch this is the result. Turned and finished by him to his own specifications. He's very proud of it and asked that I place it here for him. Thanks for looking.

That's really good for a first pen, fit and finish look very good, and it's a nice looking piece of wood.

Tell Dalton he did good,I like the shape! I'm sure he had a good teacher! You might as well start looking for another lathe. []
