Hopefully a photo is attached.
Anybody care to guess why it is the most unique?

Is it unique because you turned the end cap from the same wood as the body?

The entire pen is made of WOOD. Clip, nib etc.... :p
Your getting good Jerry!
Julie . . . you were partially right!
Here's a photo that should explain the rest. The pen is 51" long and I turned it from a 4x4 rough cedar fence post. The RWB band is a separate piece that the top and bottom fits into. The color is from vinyl signmaking material.
When we have TAT's or demos it should be a real eye-catcher!
Thanks!
Jerry
Wow, Jerry!!!!
That's very impressive.

Jerry,
I think the big pen is very slick and will definately be an eye catcher...of course you are going to send me one aren't you? :)
Yeah but Keith, how is he going to get that pen in one of his pen tubes? :DQuote:

Now that's a PEN! A guy could get carpal tunnel just looking at that thing. Could you explain how you did this in more detail?

I had to take several looks to be convinced this was not a doctored photo.
great idea Jerry. you got a real convincing look out of it.
Great Job Jerry! So, how did that cedar turn? The few times I've worked with cedar (and I wasn't doing spinny things) it was splintery and tended to split easily. Did you find it difficult to turn? Any special techniques?
