My first Majestics

[john snowdon]

Ahhh, winter! When a boy's fancy turns from raising bees to trying to make pens. I love having 4 seasons as it allows me to have completely different hobbies.

Here are 4 of the first 5 Majestics I made. My daughter made off with the 5th before I could photograph it. Nice to make something in the shop except bee hives!

I am in awe of the beautiful art that is continually produced by members of this forum and grateful for the information you all happily share. Many thanks and the happiest and safest of holidays to you all.

Nice stuff John!! I'm getting into Majestic's and the similar styles. Your's are gonna be hard to follow:D

Those are very nice pens. I've made a couple for friends out in hollyweird, but I don't know anyone around here that would go for the "jewel".
Keep them bees alive and happy! I love honey on my sopapillas:cool:

Nicely done, John... Looking forward to seeing what's next.

Beautiful pens John. It's always good when some one wants to steal you work. :)

[Bernie Weishapl]

Those are beauties John. Well done.

[john snowdon]

Thanks, gents. I agree about the "jewel", Michael. The funny thing is 2 of these are also heading to California. Not sure Majestics will be big sellers in NH...

Nice choice of wood colors to go with the kits. I like them all!

[Chuck Stone]

I like the squires, and i don't even mind the jewel. It's not that big,
and doesn't feel 'overdone' like the full Majestics.

Plus, the squire just has a good feel.. sturdier than the Sierras.
I ditch the refill and use an EX Flow 9000 though.. and give the
transmission a squirt of oil and move it back and forth a few
dozen times before i assemble them.

And yes, people even like them here in NH :D

Nice work, John. Shape, fit and finish are all right on.
