My new Project :)
« on: September 23, 2015, 09:09:50 AM »
I finally got all my stuff in today and I was able to whip out a pen. 

I selected a real nice Cherry Wood that was given to me by a friend of mine.  Cut it up and chucked it up.



drilled and ready to go



I roughed it out and got it to size with a skew.



I used a minwax finish and voila

If you don't love what you're doing, then don't do it.
Your chances of success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do.

My brother-in-law makes those pens, and he has developed quite a market for them.
He uses the most exotic woods he can find, beautiful.
Keep it going.  :thumbup: :thumbup:

They can be quite nice.  I do not have a lot of fancy exotic woods yet, but I have some decent stuff.  I do have a few spalted pieces but I don't want to mess them up yet  ;D

Here is my second pen that is made out of African Bubinga wood.

My father in law made those for quite a few years before someone broke into his shop and stole everything. He has been in the hardwood lumber mill business for over 60 years and always had a lot of scraps of wood laying around. Still does!!  Lol


Drew pens lookin good!!   :thumbup:
