Ok guys and gals decided to start the New Year right. Took some time and went to the shop today. Decided I may as well jump in with both feet. Here are some pictures of my first pen. I thought I did real well for the first time. I made it from a black walnut log I got from the neighbor. Now I have to go back out and make SWMBO one. She tried to steal this one and I told her the first one is not going anywhere. Thanks for all of your help and encouragement. I appreciate it.
