    My latest pen...

    Hi all,

    Well here is one of the Jr Retro's that I sold someone at our church Wednesday... finished it last night and delivered it today...

    The blank (AA03) and pen case is from Wood-n-Whimsies. The kit is a Jr Retro from CS...

    (blanks were painted red inside before inserts were epoxied in...)







    Comments welcome!

    PS... sorry for the image quality.. was taken at our church tonight and was handled by many before pic was taken and left smudges and finger prints... I forgot to wipe it off before the pic.. ooops! ... :frown:

    Ahhhhh..... the smell of fresh cut wood!

    Beautiful pen Dave! Love the rich color! I'll bet there was a lot of positive feedback at the church after handling the pen! Hope you get many more commissions! Very nice work!

    Great looking pen and the color is so bright. Bet that pen was the talk of the church.

    VERY nice! Very professional looking too. I made a cigar pen from the same stuff. I had some small chipouts so I never sold it, I use it !


    Well done !

    Dave,
    That is a prize winner for sure! Love the presentation with the case as it really elevates the workmanship.
