    Tell her those are nice looking pens. I especially like the purpleheart one. The veneer really makes that pen.

    Those details on the purpleheart pen are gorgeous! "Elegant" was the word we immediately used to describe it. It really suits the style of kit. Can I ask which kit that is?

    Very nice work on all the pens Brian! Really like the effect of the white veneer in the purpleheart pen - very classy! My favorite - just in case you were to ask - would be the curly maple set! Love the wood!

    Another vote for the PH one.

    Maple comes in close second...all are great!

    Great looking pens. It is a toss up between the PH and maple.

    Very Nice Work

    I havn't ventured into the pen turning yet, but I am sure I will. I can only hope mine turn out half that good. Did anyone else try nudging the Purple Heart one just to see the veneer on the other side..........lol It doesn't work

    Excellent pens!! I love the PH and the pen and pencil set. Great job!!
    If at first you don't succeed, look in the trash for the instructions.
