Shane, good to see you turning again. Nice segmenting, I like your style! I have had a lot of success with the "ring towers" at shows. The nice thing is there is no cost for materials as they are made from scraps. Most go for ten dollars or more at the shows. here are a few I will sell.

I have wanted to do some pens like this for a while. I have been bored with my typical assortment. Let me know what you think.

Here is the group:

Pen 1:
A closed end Baron RB. Woods include amboyna burl, afzelia burl, curly mahogany (didn't end up being very curly[]), canary wood, and black maple veneer.

Pen 2:
Baron RB for my wife with not so curly maple, bocote, and black maple veneers.

Ring Holder:
I made this for my wife for our 12th anniversary. It was quick and simple and made a great impression. I noticed she always takes her ring off near the sink at night so it is great for her. It is from briar stem burl, african blackwood, and BOW.
