    Purple TruStone Pen and Tutorial

    I've made several TruStone pens before, but this was the first time working with this purple version.

    It's pretty brittle, so it was slow going, with very light cuts with sharp carbide tools.

    It was a commission from my bride's co-worker, so it's nice to have it completed.

    I documented photos of the step-by-step making of this pen, hopefully I'll find some time to put the photos into a short video so those who might like to try this can see how it's done.

    Also, this is the first time I've tried using a rather unusual photographic setup/background suitable for small items... more to come on that later.
