Here is my first turned metal pen and definetly will not be my last. It is an aluminum cigar style pen with a Blk TG kit. I left the finish a satin brushed finish as opposed to a highly polished shiney finish which I will probably try next time. I learned alot turning this pen including the fact that turning metal such as this is possible on a wood lathe but is also easy. Learned some finishing techniques also. Thanks for looking and as always comments and critiquing is always welcomed. Have a great day.

I really like it, John. That is very cool. I have done hundreds of pens but never metal. Great job! That kinda makes me want to turn some pens.;)
