Very cool looking pen. The closed end is such a nice look. Red palm is a nice looking wood.

Is the clip on the other side, or did you go without?
Was the blank stabilized? Do you use a pin chuck or expanding chuck?
Palm makes for a nice pen, just wish I could get through one without pulling what little hair I have remaining....seems you have it figured out though. Well done!!!!!

This pen has no clip. I like the baron with both ends closed. I do. It know if customers like them as well as I do. I use the expanding mandrel from Arizona Sill. And I put it in a collet chuck. This is very stable. I turn it with carbide and when I get close to the size, I apply thin CA on a regular basis to keep it from spontaneously scattering around the shop at a rapid rate. The blank is not stabilized. I prefer to buy wood and cut my own blanks.

Nice looking pen. Love the closed ends. I miss the clip though - for my taste.

Closed end pens without a clip are so elegant. I like the look and I like the unbroken lines of them.

Nice work Marty! Heard black palm is difficult, is red palm better?

Better???---yes
Good???---no
Both take sharp tools and "gentle persuasion"!!
NICE pen!!!!
And the comments on CA in the late turning stages are exactly what it takes!!!

I have tried both black and red. The black palm pen took me several tries to complete one pen. I think I had 3 blow outs. I am not sure if it was my technique or the wood.
