Keith,

Those are some real beauties and I am beginning to think that much of the pen shavings on my shop floor are somehow partly your fault :cool: I have heard you say that turning pens is fun and you know what.... I believe you :D

Nice shots and thanks for again sharing.

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments. I was reflecting after number 100. and I took one of the first pens I made and looked at it. Wow! how much better they are now.

BOB: Yeah it is fun and even better if I know I inspired someone! :D


Well of the hundred, I've sold about 40 of them. some were not saleable so I gave them as people wanted one. I will tell you this, the pink ivory and ebony ones by far outsell any others around here. I LOVE turning pens I enjoy it so much. AND I'm selling them! I am about to put more in a local cigar shop (not the same one) and these are not consignment!

That is great Keith. I am hoping to be able to sell some items to do one thing, keep me in tools and wood! And, would you believe I have a pen sold already and I haven't made not one yet! If I can get decent at pen making, I can make a few bucks in the corporate world with people who like to drop bucks on stuff like this.
Again, great looking pens!

Keith;

Beautiful work, maybe I'll try something other than slimlines and the standard hardwoods.
