Here there are....my first pens!!!!!!

[Keith Heyer]

Here are my first pens. The pen and pencil on the right are from my class at Woodcraft. The others I made on my own. The one in the middle is Bocote. The two and the left are acrylic from Woodturningz.

I am so excited!

Thanks,

Keith

Those look very nice for your starting pens, but you must remember that there will be "bad" days also so you can learn to take everything with a grain of salt!!!:biggrin:

There are many of us here that made many more than five pens before they were good enough to be shown!! Well done!!:good::good::good:

Not a bad looking bunch. The one on the far right is the same one I did for my first pen.

All right Keith, you are turning now! The pens look good! Be careful - there is no 12-step program for pen turners!

How awesome! I was originally from So Cal, but took a job transfer up here about 5 years ago. Definitely a culture change.

I sure don't miss So Cal!
