Pens for Japan

[robertkulp]

Was commissioned to turn some pens for the mayor of Zama, Japan when he visited Tennessee a few months ago. These are made with local Cedar and finished with a satin CA/BLO finish so you can still "feel" the wood.

Welcome to IAP. Great job on the pens.

Nice group of pens. I love Eastern Red Cedar...the way it looks, smells, works...what I don't like is that it 'dings' if you look at it hard.

It does ding rather easily, but I "soak" them with thin CA to help harden them a little. Actually, I tell people that the dings are just a part of the natural patina that develops from use.

What an honor. Those are very nice and I'm sure will be cherished.
