Hello Everyone,
I'm still fairly new to pen turning and have turned about 6 pens. I am getting to the point where I want to make myself a nice pen. I would carry this pen with me daily in my pocket and use it many times throughout the day. I realize that "nice" has many different meanings to everyone. I want to know what pen you use the most, your daily carry pen and why.
In the interest of fairness I'll go first. Right now I am using the very first pen I turned pictured below. It is a Slimline made from plywood. I did a poor job turning to the bushings, I created a small crack when assembling the lower barrel, and it has no finish on it so it has since picked up quite a bit of "patina" from use.
