Those are real beauties, Jim. Awesome, in fact. The scale of the spalting and/or figure in each is just right for the size of the pens, too.

Great job Jim. I'm especially fond of the boxelder on the left in your top picture. Very nice!

[Von Bickley]

Great looking pens & great photos.....:)

[Leo Pashea]

[Jonathon Spafford]

Gorgeous pens!!!! You did a fine job turning them! What's the finish?

[Steve Schlumpf]

Beautiful work Jim! Excellent choice of woods!

Thanks everyone.

My finish is a wet sanding process using micromesh and plastic polish scratch remover...the beauty of stabilized materials!:cool:

Nice pens, Jim.

What is the name of the kit, and where do you get them?

I've done a couple of slimlines, but have not made the leap to larger pens.

Yours are an inspiration.

Beautiful collection! Those first two are my favorites. Outstanding!:)
