A month ago I sent a pen I'd turned to my youngest son's wife. She called and asked if I turn some pens for a special friend. I thought at first I"d be turning one pen...then it expanded to two.......then three.

So here they are....a CSUSA titanium cigar in tiger pradauk....2 CSUSA Aeros in sweetgum eucalyptus...

I took some photos of each one by themselves that turned out better...my apologies...

Ken, those are very nice pens. I like the one in the center the best. I'm sure the clients will enyoy them very much.

Ken,
All three are very very nice, but I really like the tiger Padauk. Great looking wood! Well done.

My customer received the pens today. She emailed to say she was happy and asked if I'd be willing to work with her again in the future. She designs 'em and I turn them. I said yes.

That's the end of turning pens for now.

I've got some bottlestoppers to turn and yes....all you folks....I have a hollow form about 1/2 finished.....:D
