The buckeye has a divet? chip? at the nib. Anyone know of a quick fix?

Great looking bunch. Amboynia has my vote, just something about the grain in that wood has always caught my eye.

Thanks, I keep telling you that this is therapy for me. I had the funeral of a good church member and friend this past weekend . Part of my personal grief process was dealt w/ in the shop.

They are all beautiful pens. The simlicity of the pen allows the wood to take center stage. Elegant.

Pastor Bill I too love turning the Patriots/Atlas pens. It's one kit that really shows off a nice piece of wood....or "eye candy" as so many here like to call it!

The only fix I know of is to take the thing apart and put it back on the lathe. You could use a parting tool to cut off a little section and splice on a contrasting wood or you could scrape together some fine sanding dust from the same or similar blank and use superglue to fill it in, turn it lightly with a skew then refinish the pen.

Those look really nice Pastorbill, especially the boxelder. Is there some more of the flame on the other side of the pen?

 

[jwoodwright]

Very nicely done Pastor Bill. Those are beautiful pens. Glad you have a release for your grief process. I use the shop in the same way especially after a long shift in the ER.

They all look great ! I especially like the
boxelder.

Great work Pastorbill, that Boxelder turned out very well. Any chance of a pic of the other side. As some one else asked would be curious if the flame shows on the other side of the pen as well. Very nice work indeed.
