Your image did not come through.

It is there, but mucked up.....

What you have is this........

As you can see, the red parts are not needed, so if you put the black text between the image tags your image will come through just fine.

Very nice pen, indeed!

[John Miliunas]

Way cool, Laurie! If that's your first one, you have a great future in pen turning!!! Keep it up! :) :cool:

[Keith Burns]

Nice pen Laurie, keep it up:) :)

i want to thank you for the fix on my picture. now this not my first pen. but it is the most unusal material i have found. every other bamboo i've seen are pretty plain. i've been turning or should i say the bug has been turning me for about 3 years. this is the worst virus i have ever had. :eek:

thanks, all of you, for your kind words and help.

Very nice...that bamboo looks super, Laurie!

And it's not a virus...it's an addiction of the strongest type. No hope of "recovery". Ever. :D

[Barry Stratton]

Exceelent looking pen!!

I Never Would Have Thought Bambo Would Be So Pretty! Very Nice

[Corey Hallagan]

Nice pen Laurie, that bamboo looks great. Good looking kit as well. I think that is a Berea one if memory serves me.

Very nice job. Laurie. How is the bamboo to work with? Is it as splintery as it seems it would be? I've got a couple bamboo cutting boards that I use, and they are surprisingly smooth...just wondering if the same holds true for turned bamboo.

Nice looking pen Laurie!! That bamboo does have some cool character. I have a piece of Grapevine that I'm hoping for the same kind of results. We'll see. :)

[Bernie Weishapl]

Excellent looking pen Laurie. Keep'em coming.

the first thing that crossed my mind when i read the title was cheech-n-chong............nice pen! .02 tod

[Mike Ramsey]

Awesome pen Laurie! Like Vaughn asked how was it to turn?

[Gil Jones]

Laurie,
Your Bamboo pen is excellent, and it looks very smooth!!
I thought that Bamboo would be stringy,
but you seem to have kept that under control.
Nicely done.
