Hey...You're jammin' Richard! Very nice. I like the extra detail of the one on the far right. What's your wood type and finish?

[Richard Stewart]

The finish is linseed oil and something else, im not sure wut the other one is:confused: but he said it was a polish. ill ask him tomorrow morning:D

Richard,

It is now too late to save you! You've entered the black hole of pen making and no one ever escapes. It is a very adicting past time. ;)

[Keith Burns]

Very nice Richard. I agree with John, the one on the right is my favorite as well but you've done a great job on all three.

[Richard Stewart]

Yea, it shows the stages of how i did, if u look closely to the one on the left, it has a break in it on the top half cause i went too deep, then the second one, the sleeve got bent somehow and couldnt fix it so we super glued the head on it and the last one is my best. :) thanks for the compliments (the middle and last one are pencils *MECHANICAL PENCILS*)

[Dick Parr]

Great looking pens Richard. Your off to a great start.

[Ernie Nyvall]

I do believe you're hooked Richard. Nice work and a great start.

I haven't turned any pens myself, but think you did a fine job on your's!

[Keith Christopher]

Very nice ! I like !!! where did you get the clicky pen kits ?

[Richard Stewart]

They arent clicky pens, theyre mechanical pencils, but if u wanna kno where i got them, ask my dad (user name : rich stewart)

The finish was Danish oil and french polish. We didn't spend a lot of time on the finish as they were the first ones and we wanted to see how they went together. The wood is some pre-drilled rosewood blanks from PSI. More fun that I thought it would be. Junior had his first skew catch that caused that blowout on the left pen. We're cookin now.

Rich........I'm afraid you've created a turning monster in Richard! Great work Richard!
