Pen Pic number 2 :)

Here's a comfort pen I made from a scrap of Osage Orange. It was cut kinda weird, but that turned out to be an advantage. It gave it a cool grain pattern.

Nice looking. I think there's no `bad way' to turn osage. It's such pretty wood. [8D]

Wow...I have a small sample of that wood...seeing that, I'll have to give mine a spin...very sharp looking with nice character

Wow, that's the blackest osage I've ever seen.[] What is that material on the nib end? That osage is bootiful. I have some that looks bias-cut, but isn't. The tree grows kind of gnarly. I have some in my truck right now, banging around, but I have never turned any. I've also got some in my kiln (a wooden box in my shop). I hope to make some small bowls from it.
Thanks for posting this. It encourages me to try some of the wood I have hanging around.

Steve,
This isn't your 2nd pen made is it? If so, you da man!
Nice work in either case.

The wood looks good, but I don't care for that kit.

No, that isn't my 2nd pen, I've done maybe 20 or so. [] I'm a very fast learner.

This kit is actually gold, the scanner is changing the color of the finish. I've ordered a light
box similar to the box in the photo thread. When I get that I will re take all the photos. I've tried
taking pics with other methods, just couldn't get anything to work. Still learning.

Nice pen. The osage is sure fun to play with. Keep them coming.
