Made my first pen

[Ray1955]

Well although it looks to me very nice....for first successful pen, I noticed the
joints have small gap, I noticed some others may not. I did use a Barrell bit which is supposed to make it flat....but mine must have been off a little.

I will try again in a few hours with another blank...we will see.

Thanks for listening.

You managed to get the natural shape on the blank that flows perfectly with the hardware. Well done!! :good::good:

Thank you guys

Just made my 2nd turn......looks beautiful the wood is amazing.

I sanded then I put carnauba wax on it twice and after dried and buffed I went over it with Shellwax from WoodCraft.
