My New Woodchuck Pen Pro

[LarryDNJR]

I just received my Woodchuck Pen Pro a few days ago. I was amazed at how quickly I received it. I ordered mine without a handle as I wanted to do a short stubby one similiar to the one in the demo video I saw on youtube. I wanted to use Buckeye Burl or Amboyna Burl but didn't have a piece large enough. Guessing something bottle stopper size would have been idea. I rummaged through all my pen blanks and such finally coming across this nice round piece of Tulipwood. Did some drilling, turning, sanding, attempted to round over the butt end. Applied a CA finish, used Gorilla Glue to hold the tang. My dad gave me this brass fitting instead of some copper pipe caps since he couldn't find any. I actually like the sides of the ferrule. When I lay it down it doesn't move.

You do nice work - I love the handles and the ferrule! I am sure that, like me, you will find that the pen pro works as great as yours looks!

That looks to nice to use, it should be framed and hung on the wall.

Nice choice of wood for the handle. Hope you enjoy using it.
