Pen Day...

[Mike A. Smith]

LOML is out of town for a bit so I'm wide open for turning. Unfortunately, I'm on call at work so I didn't want to start anything I couldn't drop and run. So here's some pens...

Europeans and Americana Rollerballs. From the left, English Walnut, BE Burl, PH, another EW, and a piece of cedar. Sorry, didn't take a lot of time on the picture.

Very nice pens! I really like them :)

[Jon Lanier]

Those look pretty good. Nice variety of woods and some good craftmanship.
:D

[Nancy Laird]

Very nice, Mike. I spent part of the day turning too! Isn't it fun???

Great job Mike!

Mike

Nice pens for sure. Hate when people use abreviations of woods though. What type finish did you use on them???

...English Walnut, BE Burl, PH, another EW,...
Box Elder & Purple Heart

I'm still playing with finishes so it's a mixture. CA on the purple heart, poly on the cedar, friction polish and wax on the others.

Nice pens Mike, I'll take the one in the middle:D

Nice pens Mike, I'll take the one in the middle:D


Sorry, anything I make that's purple already had LOML's name on it. I don't really like turning it, but I always have a supply on hand.
