Been messing around - did some more pens and a couple "candle holders"
Not even close to the quality of other things people are posting, but I sure am having fun.
Pen in front looks a little funny in the picture, but all three of the Euro style ones I've turned have pretty much the same profile. Worked out well since my wife had the original one at work while I turned these - was hoping that I had the profile correct.
Was really happy with the screw cap one until I took the cap off and put it on the back end and scratched the heck out of the black endcap. Finished them all with HUT glossy - stuff seems to work well, of course being just a wax Im sure it'll wear off with use.
Overall happy with the pens - other items were pretty much fooling around.
