G'day All....
Yesterday, I made a reply to a thread about pen making....so I thought I'd better put up a photo;).
Here are four pens I made recently... The two "designer pens" are Walnut and Jatoba (Brazilian Cherry) from my own blanks, the "slimline" pen and pencil are from a commercial source (Cocobolo and Padauk, I think). The pen and pencil will go to my granddaughter as part of a HS graduation gift. (All four pens are finished using three treatments each of EEE polish and Shellawax.)
About a half dozen other pens were "scarfed up" by relatives or given to friends as gifts. They're fun to make but don't last long....
