I haven't made a pen in forever

Here is two that I did tonight. The blue one is out of my #6 swirl alumilite blank.
The second one is out of cast wormy/cracked Desert Ironwood. It looks amazing.
Both of them are on atrax postables

Let me know what you think.

Your eye must be better than mine...I don't see the out of round. Great looking pens.

Thank you, my close up photo makes it look a lot worse than it actually is.

nice looking pens! desert ironwood is one of my favorites. i see the "out of round" in the last picture especially on the cap. only a penturner would see it. still nice work!

 

[crabcreekind]

The cap is not out of round.The barrel is slightly but nothing noticeable.

I really like the desert ironwood. Makes me wish I'd bought some wormy DI. Your blue & white cast looks really good too. Good color separation. I wouldn't worry about the "out of round". Like you said, it would be next to impossible to see for an untrained eye.

Did I mention I really . . . . really like the desert ironwood?

Good, I have a whole box of uncast wormy cracked DIW. :biggrin:

I like them both a lot, especially the desert ironwood one. Nicely done! You haven't lost your touch after not turning one for a while.
