Please count me in.

Very nice, I especially like that finial on the right one

I live next to the green of a wide-open par 5, and I seem to collect several buckets a year of the less than perfect shots. Looking around the garage, I remembered something similar I had seen...

Nice work as usual. I really like the richness of the color in this one.

Just so you know people still care, I received this from a military wife the other day (a childhood friend of mine):

"I think that it is neat you are a member of the pen turners. I also...

Wow, now giving up one of your polymer clay pen blanks from Tony in NZ is impressive! David, i will tell you those are a hot commodity over at the IAP website!

Gary, nice job on both!

Bounty select a size works well vs. the cheap off brands.

One tip from a SWAT meeting a few summers ago is I have also used the styrofoam (whatever the white stuff is called) that comes in...

Very nice!

Wow, am I late to the game - that's what I get for being busy with work, etc. If it is not too late, count me in and if you are doing multiples I will do up to three!

Tom, thanks for organizing...

Trustone is one of my favorites to turn for a pen, and you certainly did it right by putting it on a fountain pen. The gold on your pen really comes through in the black. Looks like you've inspired...

I haven't turned much lately, but my 8 year old wanted to make some pens as thank you gifts for his Sunday School teachers, so off to the shop we went. You experts out there may look at these and say...

Please include me.

Thanks

Cedar can make a really fine looking pen, but there are a lot of oils competing with the CA glue.

I threw away a lot of cedar pen blanks after turning as I would have a heck of a lot...

I agree with Bernie - don't use the accelerator, but I will add to his comment: only use the accelerator on a tube vs. your finish. The only time I use accelerator is before I apply the glue,...

I like your homemade stand (hey it's functional!). I think your best pen is the walnut one you made for your sister - good form and yes, the color does look a little different.

I've turned a lot of olive wood pens, but never any rosewood. I used to have problems with olive wood with a CA finish: sometimes it would crack as you described, other times you would get a cloudy...

Those are nice looking pens, but I think the story behind them is even better. To me, holding an old tool a deceased relative held or a piece of wood turned into something that has sentimental value...

Ditto what someone else said - about 10 minutes.

Let me give you an example - my Dad is a pretty good segmented turner, and he can have 40, 60, 80 or more hours in a bowl or platter before he...

I better package some up this weekend in the hope of being #100,000!

In addition to CSUSA mentioned above, I also get a lot of my kits from Ernie at Bear Tooth Woods - good kits and outstanding customer service with immediate shipment (and no gouging on...

That would be a great use of the brass. I will warn you, once I started turning pens it has become very addictive - while my wife and kids wonder how someone can need so many pens (I give...
