Haven't had much turning time as of late but did get a chance to play with some pens the last couple days. Boy do I get rusty when I step away from this stuff for a while.:p

Aluminum

Poly Resin This one almost went into the trash because of a deep chip but I was able to save it sanding with some ca glue and filling it in but I still ended up undercutting it a little too much on the small end.

Glad to see you logged a little turning time, Matt. That aluminum pen reminded me that I've always wanted to try and turn one... I hope mine turns out as well as yours did.

Thanks David! I have some extra aluminum blanks, shoot me your address and I'll send you some.

Matt - nice work on each of the pens! Haven't turned antler before but from what I hear - your experience with it is the same as everyone else!

Lookin' good, pens are a great way to ease back in to the vortex.
