Well, we are getting ready to move so here are the last pens that I will be making at this house. There are actually a couple of others that are not in the photos because 1, Stratus Click, is at work and my wife gave a Rhodium Jr. Gent II to her mother before I could get a photo.
Sorry about crappy photos the house is in disarray and did not have much time to get them taken, edited and uploaded.
So here they are:
Here is a Graduate magnetic roller ball my daughter wanted me to make for her best friend's high school graduation gift. It is Gunmetal with Worthless Wood.
Here is a Liberty pen and pencil set with Tornadic Twists blank from exotics that I made for my daughter's high school graduation gift. Lets just say these blanks look awesome but they are a PITA to work with, had a couple small cracks form at the finial end of the pen but due to the cost of these and my time constraints I covered with some thin CA and moved on.
Here is a Le Roi V2 Gold Ti/gunmetal with banksia pod.
Here is a rhodium Gentleman's pen with Alien Eye's PR from slabs, blanks and boards, complete with custom finial button
And the very last pen turned at my current house - Cigar hybrid with Oceans Sun PR blank from slabs, blanks and boards, complete with custom finial button. Unfortunately I messed up the fit at the finial end, it was a tiny bit to big so I started to get it closer and my wife came out screaming at me to "get of the damn lathe and start packing" and in the rush I took a little too much off. No big deal since this is just a pen that I will be using at work anyway.
Thanks for looking and any critiques are more than welcome.
