I spent the early afternon (waiting for the Steelers/Jets game) in the shop at the lathe turning pens:

I turned 2 Pen & Pencil sets for the wife of a local car dealer that wants to give them as Christmas Presents. Cherry & Walnut Slimlines.

I turned a pen for my F-I-L from a piece of grapevine that he gave me. (I dried the wood slab, using the alcohol method - it worked pretty well).

Then I turned a pen from some walnut that I had cut at my father's from an 8" dia. log tha t has a little spalting to it. I think it ended up looking okay.
