I finished up 4 pens last night. Stayed in the shop till after 10:30pm. Told the wife tonight, that I wouldn't stay very long. Just wanted to clean up some things. While in the shop, I couldn't resist the temptation to try a mequite blank that I had sitting in the shop. This was my first time to try mesquite. Figured that I should turn a mesquite pen, since I'm surrounded by mesquite trees here in Central TX. Mesquite was easy to turn & a quick CA/BLO finish & presto was back in the house in no time.

Nice work Billy! Real classy looking pen and the black goes great with the natural color of the Mesquite!

Billy that is a beauty. I really like turning Sierra pens. Mesquite is a great wood to turn. Really nicely done.
