New pens...

[John Grabowski]

Pictures taken today...I really am glad I am starting to figure out how to photograph my work.

This picture was a test to see if I could focus all and still make images sharp and correct light.

They are curly maple, coco, coco, zebra and Bolivian rosewood.

Let me know what you guys think.

Those are good looking pens. I like the wood on all of them. Well done.

Very nice pic! (pens too)

The pens look great! What kind of finish do you use? So does the picture- better than I could do! I especially like the coco one to the left! Look at that figure in the lower barrel!

[John Grabowski]

The finish is friction sustained spray on lacquer. I rub it in with a cotton cloth probably 4 times.

That coco pen is one of my favorites. I have made quite a few out of coco and I have never found anything quite like it yet.

Thanks for the comments.

I take it you mean COCO, and not cocobolo?

I meant cocbolo...I apologize...I didnt realize there was a coco wood out there somewhere.

I like them all, but the Zebra wood one is my favorite.
