I bought a lathe about a month ago, and here are some pictures of my first pens. I would like to know what you think? The pens are slim line, European, and Churchill rollerball. I used cocobolo, zebrawood, walnut, cherry, maple, elm, pecan, Honduras rosewood, Bolivian rosewood, ash, bloodwood, yellowheart, purpleheart, mesquite, and acrylic. Thanks for looking!!!

I think the pens look great! Keep up the good work! By the way, my first pens looked nothing like yours.

You really went to town Brent! All the pens are cool, but I especially like the segmented ones.

Welcome to the Creek too!

WOW!!! Those are amazing.... the wood variety and the designs and segmentation is all spectacular! Those don't look like firsts to me...leastwise I wasn't that talented when I started ;) Sure looks like your having fun though! Welcome to the forum and keep the pictures coming... we all love pix!!!

Thanks for looking, and thanks for the responses. It is always exciting when you start something new. In time I hope to improve on the quality of the pens.
