My Latest Pens

[Corey Hallagan]

I turned these for my son. He loved the African Blackwood I had and he wanted a pen and pencil set so here they are. These are my best pens to date. The photos just don't do this wood justice and the finish turned out great. Lacquer with TSW wax. What yah think?

I like them A LOT!! Nice job Corey, anyone would be proud to use those!

[Bob Noles]

By golly Corey.... I do believe you have MASTERED the pens :D

Great job and I like the looks of that wood.

[John Hart]

Yep....looks like you're hitting your bushings just right Corey! I love African blackwood to work with. You've a acheived a nice shape too! Cool gift.:)

[Paul Douglass]

I think "stunning" fits those pens!!

[Chris Barton]

Those look great Corey! When are we going to see some flatwork boxes;) . I been keeping my eyes open for some of that coming out of your shop.

Thanks guys. I appreciate it. The wood on these pens is just beautiful. The pics make them look more brown but the are really quite dark with some beautiful striping thru them. Wish I could capture that. Lots of eyes and swirls.

Chris, I posted my latest box over in flat land last week I think it was. One I have had started for awhile and finally finished it. I redid it with a burgundy interior though. Didn't like the blue. My next flat land box will be will showcase some of that beautiful splated maple Chris :) in the lid and will be my first large hinged box. Here is the link to the other post:

OOOOOPPPPSS! I missed it Corey but, that's a great looking box. I really like the contrast of the woods. I need to keep a sharper eye out for these great pieces.

[Scott Donley]

Very nice looking set there Corey ! I think that wood shall be part of my next order :) ( a very slippery slope these pens are )
