Pens 7 & 8 from this rookie.

Starting to feel a bit better about my technique but still a long way to go! Turned these & like how they look. Both are from PSI Slimline kits: On the left is Redbud cut down in our yard last fall & on the right is Cocobolo. Sanded with 120, 220, 320, 400, 600 & 2000 then polished with HUT bars & burnished with shavings.

Have you experimented with a CA finish yet?

Nice work!

Very nice. Keep turning and gain more experience with the craft. Thanks for sharing and looking for more in the future.
Edit: There is a section that deals with pen photography. Not sure what you used for the photos, but I suggest working on getting closer to show more detail.

Laid them on a piece of Cherry & used my Android phone.

Good job, wishing you the best with your future endeavors! Just to note, it seems to me that the more you turn, the more the vortex pulls on the checkbook. Just saying……….S

Smokey S already quite aware of that, as the "CFO" reminds me frequently!
