Contestant # 1
This Young Gentleman is 13 and has turned about 10-15 pens and is doing all the work on his own now. Logan chose an Osage orange wooden blank and used a fancy gold slimline pen kit. He cut the blank using the bandsaw, prepped the blanks using the drill press, turned and assembled the pen by himself. He applied 2 coats of thin CA to finish the pen prior to assembly.
Contestant # 2
This Young Lady is 16 and has been turning pens since January. She loves the look of the flaming box elder wood and paired it with a antique bronze dragon pen kit. She did all the work on the pen by herself with no help. The pen is finished with 2 coats of thin CA and she is still working to perfect her CA finishes.
