Never turned a pen. But I really like those "cigar" pens I've seen here so I decided to try making one. This is completely "from scratch"... no kit or anything. Now that I've got the hang of it, I'll use a better stogie on the next one...

Nice pen David!










Somebody go catch Hart and put him back in the rubber room. He's passing out the lacquer again.

David, you must be experiencing a particularly boring week!! Way too much wandering of the mind going on - get out there in that "outdoor shop" and get to work on a piece of wood!!:D
