After spending months making pens and giving them away while I tweaked my learning curve and skills, I found myself penless, so I decided to make one for just ME.

This one is a Black Titanium Baron Rollerball done with Bocote and finished in Lacquer.

Excuse the bad photography, but wanted to share anyhow.

Thanks for looking.

Bravo Bob, that one is a beauty. I have yet to turn Bocote. How do you like the Baron kit?

That's a very nice writing instrument.

Beautiful finish and choice of kit - the Black Titanium is very pearleascent...or as us Louisiana natives say...it shines purty!

Thanks for the kind words. I'm still learning and perfecting my skills (or lack of) before stepping up the pace with some other projects.

Just had to do one for me this time :)

Very nice, Bob. And I happen to like bocote for pens...it seems to have just the right amount of color and pattern for them.

Very nice pen Bob. Haven't done that specific pen yet, and I say yet because of the look, will be on my shopping list next time. Amazing isn't it, seemed like I turned so many pens yet I didn't have one of my own! My mom always said the cobbler's kids went without shoes, my horses are the last ones trimmed or shod and yep, don't have my own pen yet either!
