Here are three pens I made on Monday. It sure was nice to get into the shop again! I am looking forward to making a bunch of pens and other stuff before Christmas!

Sorry about the quality of the picture! I just can't seem to get the hang of scanning pens on my flatbed scanner.
The first one is from some nice Birdseye Walnut I got a couple of years ago. The second one is a piece of Spalted Mango I got from Bill Baumbeck. I am very glad it was stabilized! The third is from some Curley Maple I've had for a while. I decided to try for a nice bright orange since that's a local school color. I used my standard CA/BLO finish on all three pens, but instead of polishing through with Micro Mesh, I buffed them on the Beall wheel instead.
The top two kits are Platinum Junior Gentleman Fountain Pens. The bottom one is the Streamlined Slimline from Berea in chrome.
