Finished a few more pens.

Good job, nice pens! Where’s mine?? I like gel pens so you’ve have to make it to fit Parker Gel inserts… [External image (i15.photobucket.com), not copied]

Very cool project, have you seen the guy that does it on instagram? He makes his with miniature bolt action rifle components to push the ink cartridge out, pretty slick.

I really like the looks of that burled maple one, love the patterns there, good choices of wood

You’d be surprised how many different pen kits there are.

Love #2, it’s gorgeous but I do like all of them actually. Great job!

Wait until you do cocobolo, in my experience(and preference) in seeing turned pens and other similar shaped items, cocobolo is the fan favorite.

I’m a fan of the purpleheart. I’ve always liked purpleheart in guitar builds as well.

I like purpleheart too, I think those two are my third/fourth favorite after the zebrawood. I really like purpleheart inlays in wood chests or pool cues.

Not this exact one but when I make some more i’ll throw them up on the forum. The one in the picture is for my dad.

Cool I like the bigger sized pen 

I like it a lot. The reason I haven’t already bought one of those you have for sale is I don’t particularly care for the bulge, I know it doesn’t help the learning process but I’d prefer straight body then taper to meet the tip. That’s just my aesthetic preference, not trying to nudge you into a direction.

I’d buy one but I lose more pens… Lol

Finished 2 more cigar pens and my first razor handle. Razor is made of English Walnut, and the pens are Maple Burl and Redwood burl. What do you guys think?

$35 with free shipping since it’s a little more expensive then the others I have done. I will hold it for you if you want. PM me. 

Dave, I gots to start selling mine, I’m thinking about hitting up a couple of local craft dealers and putting some pens and cutting boards out there.

I started with friends and family and it slowly grows from there. I have thought about consigning them but that’s a bit too much work for me right now. Not a bad idea though.
