LeatherMan tried to sneak this in...

But I caught him! REALLY sharp pen, IMHO.

I agree, very nice pen! You just can't go wrong with BOW.

Nice looking pen I got to get me some BOW

 

[rtjw]

Very nice pen.

 

[Fleabit]

Oustanding looking pen. I have some BOW that I have yet to turn. Next batch of barons coming in get that treatment.

 

[Leather Man]

Thanks guys for the kind words. I really didn't try to sneak this one in. This is a birthday pen for my son and I wanted to put it in my photo album before I gave it to him.
Thanks again.
Ben

Uh oh...Sorry Ben! I saw it on the front page, and thought WOW, that looks great! I came into the Show off Your Pens section, but couldn't tell you how great it looked.

Sorry if I ruined any surprises!

Very nice pen Ben.

 

[Darley]

Nobody can go wrong with a BOW, beautiful pen.

 

[Leather Man]

No problem Jim. My son does not read the forum anyway. I am making pens for my son and daughter and there spouses for their birthdays.

Very nice, good work, too!!

 

[ilikewood]

The reason it is such a good pen is because Ben is from Idaho![)]

Seriously, it looks fantastic! I love BOW!

Hi Ben,
Nice work as always. I hope you make them one out of curly spalted oak.[]
Did you see the one by Coach?

Lovely pen. But my question is: How is BOW to work with?

It seems awfully expensive (understandably so); and as a <b>newbie</b>, I'm reluctant to invest so much for a blank that I might too easily blow up because of my infantile clumsiness! It looks fragile and/or difficult to work with, is it? Relatively speaking, that is! [] <b>Anybody?</b>

I don't think its overly difficult to work with. Like everything, you just have to take yout time, and be patient. Sharp tools make all the difference in any kind of wood turning. So keep 'em sharp, and you shouldn't have any problems.
