Well I guess it looks nice, my wife loves it and I guess for my first it it good. I got a Wilton mini-Lathe for my B-day and have been dying to turn a pen after seeing all those here and other places on the web. I originally had wanted to make it completely in Brazillian Cherry which I purchased several blanks on sale at the local Woodcraft store as well as the rest of the goodies I would be needing. I ended up making half the pen in cherry from which i cut from a piece of scrap and the other end was from a piece of scrap rosewood or kingwood not sure, I am thinking Kingwood because the color had a little purple to it but anyways I wanted to show you the finished project.
Oh all the lessons I got for doing this was a video on youtube from Rockler and the ideas here and at Lumberjocks and I really do appreciate any ideas or suggestions besides quiting while I am ahead lol. You guys and gals are great and thanks.
