Well finished the second pen for the loml. She picked out the wood which is zebrawood. Found out something real quick zebra is pretty chippy. Had to be real careful towards the end. Anyway I am tickled as heck and thought it came out pretty well for number 2. Thanks.

Well Mr. Bernie.... I would say that you are fast reaching Pro status. That is as nice a looking pen as anyone could ask for. I do believe you got the hang of this turning thing :D I was hoping to beat you, but you already know the story :(

Keep up the excellent work Bernie, it will be worth all we have been through the past couple of months especially putting up with Mr. Andy :D :p

Great looking pen Bernie ! Being from Western Kansas and having nothing else to do, I suspect you have been practicing:D

Well made Bernie !!! Very nice !!! You know I don't much like working with zebrawood, and I LOVE the walnut one you made. Very clean and VERY symmetrical ! Excellent work !

Yup...seems like you're doing everything right Bernie. I don't see any chipping so you must have snuck up on those bushings just right! Another nice one!
