Hi Everybody,
I've got a bunch of pens to turn for an upcoming show. I managed to turn a couple today. Here's a group photo of four Junior Gentleman's Pens.

The top one is the Decora one I showed the other day. The next one is a purple swirled plastic. The third one is interesting - it's Macadamia wood. The fourth one is Lychee. Both of the woods are stabilized from Bill Baumbeck. Here's a shot of the Macadamia one:

And here's a close-up of the grain pattern:

I also managed to put together one snap top fountain pen. This one is made from brown dyed spalt maple. Here's some pictures:

I had another really nice snap pen turned from some stabilized afzelia burl, but broke it during assembly. Don't worry, I'll rescue it, just haven't decided how yet.
I hope you enjoyed looking. And remember, penturning isn't just for beginners!
