Woo hoo I did it

[skamrath1]

Well I know everyone is on the edge of their seats with anticipation for my 1st pen!! Hehe just joking....... But I finished making my 1st pen!! Looks pretty good. Definitely room for improvement!! But its a start lol.

It's a real beauty compared to my first. Nice job

 

[D.Oliver]

Congrats Scott. Looks alot like my first pen. Rosewood right? Hang on to this first one. It always fun to pull it out down the road and see how far you've come. You're off to a great start.

There's the first one I ever did. Yours definitely looks a lot more intentional. Mine came from trying to make it completely customized for my hand as I didn't expect to be making any more. Looks like you're off to a great start there. Definitely keep it.

Looks really good for a first pen.

Looks good

Hhahaha, what...! no fat lady...???:wink::biggrin:

You probably have ready a little here, about the beginners preferred belly shape...!!! hahahah, its true, tough for whatever the reason...!

From where I stand, if I wasn't told that "was a first pen ever make", I wouldn't certainly be able to tell as it looks quite elegant and well executed so, congrats...!

Cheers
George

Nicely done.

:biggrin: Now slowly back away and quit now, before it consumes you and all your money and waking thoughts.

It is a really great start.

Mike has some great advice, DAMHIKT.

Nice start Scott - all I can say about my first one is that you could write with it (if you needed to).

 

[skamrath1]

Thanks everyone!!

Nicely done.

[Autonoz]

Nice looking pen

 

[Russknan]

Very nice. Certainly beats my first. I've kept mine in case I need a little humbling. But yeah, like the rest of us, you're hooked, I bet!

"Hooked" is an understatement:biggrin:

 

[Dustygoose]

Very nice for a first! (lots better than mine)

 

[BradK12]

Very nice first pen....now you are hooked!!! That wood looks awesome with a CA finish, just fyi.

 

[Jim Burr]

Woohoo!!! Now that is a slimline Scott! And a well done one at that! I know people like to change that shape, but you held the line and, IMHO...did it right. :bananen_smilies051:

 

[OOPS]

My first pen sits right next to my computer, where I use it daily.....warts and all. And like you, I was hooked from the very first one. Its been a frustrating journey, for sure, but I have never regretted it. You have a very nice pen. Its a great first effort. Thanks for posting, and I can't wait to see more of yours down the road.
