Pens For Our Service Men and Women

[keithlong]

Last month I have the privilege to go to the woodshop on the Arsenal in Huntsville and help some volunteer penturners make pens for our troops. I was allowed to bring 20 kits back with me and turn them myself. Here they are, I used different woods and tried a couple of finishes on them. I want to add that one of my friends, Dave, came to visit me this past week and he turned 3 of them for me. So today Gary and I went back to help out again and I turned these in. Comments welcomed. It was a lot of fun, so in fact that I brought home some more kits today.

Those look good. Nice shape, just the right amount of waist on those which aren't straight barrels.
And, for a great cause.:good:

Way to go, Keith. Beautiful work for the best heroes around. I am sure they will be taken with the love you put into each one, and that love shows in abundance. Nothing like the feeling of giving back to those that serve us so well.

Hey Gary,
I will try to turn the ones I got from Smitty this week.

Good for you.

I just participated in Turn For Troops at my local Woodcraft this weekend also, and it's good to see others doing it as well.

I'm sure my fellow Soldiers will appreciate the thought! Thank you for your efforts and support.
