Not mine but my son's first pen

[chartle]

Not sure he will continue. He will be moving to upstate NY to start his first real job and living in an apartment.

It's a woodcraft kit with some what was sold as walnut burl. I got it at my local Rockler. I love going in and finding piles of "scraps". Picked up enough for at least 10 pens for just a few dollars.

That's just one of the nice things about pen making
You don't need a lot of wood

For a first pen, that makes my first pen look like it was scrounged out of a dumpster. This is real talent at its best! Great job!

Always good to pickup scrap at a very good price.

Don't let him stop.

It's a shame he has to leave. Maybe he will be able to turn after he gets set up in his new area. Makes less competition for you too. Looks really good. Ted

Small jeer for Rockler, went in a few days ago and the bins are gone. Asked and a salesperson said that was a special thing which is odd since they were there for months.

They are now going to do the wood of the month. I picked up one more piece of Walnut and a few semi overpriced blacks.

He'll be moving to Schenectady, NY to work for knolls nuclear propulsion as an engineer. He accepted the job a month ago but may not start for another 5 months waiting for his government clearances to come thru.

WOW! You should be one proud man. Congratulations. I think Schenectady is General Electric territory. True?

Yea knolls and a few others companies we're spun off from GE when they wanted to get out of the military nuclear program. GE has a facility right next door.
