Pen for my momma.

[MorganGrafixx]

So my family came over on Sunday to celebrate my birthday (and Easter)....I was finally able to give my mom her birthday gift. I made her a Black Ti. Navi with a burl n swirl blank from Ankrom Exotics that I posted up last week. Well she LOVED it! I also surprised her with a walk-through of the making of a pen. She has always kept asking about how I make them, so I decided there is no better way to learn than to experience it first-hand. So I brought her out to the shop, let her choose a blank and a kit. She chose an Aero in Rose Gold and Black Titanium and she liked the Tangerine Swirl Acrylic. She was afraid to do any of the actual power tool stuff, but she absolutely loved watching it happen. Below are the pics of her birthday pen as well as the one she was there to help me make.

Great pens and story. I bet she'll cherish them even more now knowing what it takes to make a pen.

That is really cool. I am sure she will cherish her gift and her memory of seeing you do what you do.
