Wifes first pen

[desert1pocket]

My wife was looking over my shoulder at pics of a "dog paw pen" here recently, and fell in love with it. I didn't sound excited enough about making one for her, so she decided to try making it herself. I think it came out amazingly well, and I'm very proud of her. Just hope this doesn't mean I will be having to share the lathe. The wood is mesquite from the firewood pile.

Looks good from here. You have a nice firewood pile. You may have to share the lathe (or get another one) to keep the accountant happy.[]

Good looking pen especially for a first effort.[][^]

Great first effort. Make the wife what she wants or be prepared to share or buy another lathe. [8D][8D]

It's going to be a lot easier to get things you need for the shop starting now![]Good move!

Tell her that she has made a fantastic job of her first pen, hope she turns many more from now on![]
