I guess from what I've read most people start out on these. Leave it to me to not go with the flow :rolleyes: I'd seen this basic shape on other pens and liked it, so gave it a try. The wood is something from Brazil, the seller didn't know what. Nicer grain in person than in my (typical) bad picture.....

Way to go Bonnie!!! Only thing I do differently is put the swell close to the point so the finger doesnt slip down. Talked to several craft-goers and they said they like that feature. They outsell all others at craft shows. Good lookin'

Thanks Harvey! I wasn't exactly sure how to figure the swell position, so just guessed at it. Seems to suit me okay, but I can see your point in putting it lower.
It's so hard for me to 'picture' a kit finished, most of my pen stuff is just guessing :o

Very nice Bonnie. This style can be really helpful for folks with arthritis in their hands. It is my Moms only pen she can write with. Good job :D
