... plus Paint Shop Pro 7, a Canon S5 IS, and a few things from Lowes for background.

Pens and photos look fantastic, I like the `Gisi` styled glue up best![]

Beautiful looking pens, I really like the Baron with Black Micapearl.

Wait a minute...

Is this "Show Off Your Pens" or "Show Off Your Pictures"?

Either way, nice on both counts.

Thank you for revisiting each of those pens.
It was well worth the trip down memory lane.
Great job with those pictures.

I like the Black Micapearl too, but the problem is those patterns never hold all the way around, except in a few instances. Happy is the turner who can look at a good micepearl blank and drill the best part.

Yes. Thanks, Barry.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

I really like the segmented pen Gisi-style! That's the closest I've seen anyone come to the Gisi's pens. You should try it on a closed end next! Great looking pens. Would love to know more about your methods!

My methods? This plus this plus this. As of now I have all but one of those things.

Closed end turning is next on the agenda. I have a proper midi-lathe now, (my little POJ one struggled with that heavy Jacobs Chuck, and couldn't hold it true), and I have the mandrels for that kind of turning.
