Finally an opportunity to make pens. Yippee!!! These Jr. Gent II were a treat to finish and assemble. Covid19 has reduced pens sales to near zero and the issues with police errors did not help.

Diagonal bocote, dyed box elder burl, natural box elder burl and one that said satin wood (it may be wrong) round today's effort.

Your pens are beautiful and will be appreciated by their new owners.

I think "...issues with police errors..." would be the understatement of the century.

I am deeply moved by the incorrect behavior of some officers; they were criminally wrong and should be punished. I believe that this site should be an oasis away from all of the stuff going on so I'll keep my contributions in politics etc. to a minimum.

If my statement was offensive accept my apology but reread the last sentence.

Yes, in my ocean of pen blanks sometimes blanks get mixed up. That's why I indicated my doubt. I'll gladly take correction.

Kudos Mark! job well done.

William Dean not toooo shabby yourself. I am so glad to see someone else like to put the lil handhold nub at the end of the blank. :) For me it just depends on the kit I use. Great start and beautiful blanks. I wish mine would of looked that nice when I started ahh
