Shared Resources Equals New Pens

[MartinPens]

I would like to thank Hewunch (Hans Wunch) for pointing me toward some advanced pen turning resources. I have been wanting to try my hand at close-end pens and custom caps. I made an O-Ring chuck out of a transfer punch and turned this pen last night.

I incorporated some small rock beach sand from the Oregon Coast. There is some fine tuning to do concerning depth - but all that is inside and can't be seen.

Enjoy, and Thanks again, Hans

Love the rocks in the end. Mind if I borrow that idea at some point in the future?

WOW... Very, very nice. I too love the sand/pebble idea.

Use it. Enjoy it. Build on it. Make it better. It's all good!

I keep getting credit for folks making stuff that looks better than mine :befuddled:

Can't deny the fact that you are a great teacher Hans. Great pen and I also really like the embellishment on the ends.

 

[hewunch]

Apparently so

Oh, I should have said this earlier (although it is implied by a previous post). That is one SWEET pen!

Very very nice pen. They say that duplication is the height of flattery, I am not very creative, but I can sure flatter many of the craftsmen that post on this site. Thank you all for being creative!!
