My daughter wanted a couple of pens to give to her Summer work term coworkers as a token of appreciation so I got really ambitious (or really crazy) and went into production and turned twenty of them. When you get into the swing of things they can really zip along. :)
The woods I used are Tulipwood, Purpleheart, Cherry, Hickory, Pauduk, Redwood, Zebrawood, Spalted Birch, Walnut, Ash, Mexican Cocobolo, Kingwood, Bubinga, Tigerwood, Red Palm, Elder Burl and Maple Burl. There’s also a couple of Acrylics thrown in for fun.
I guess I’m one up on the Christmas rush… LOL!

All you need is some deer antler and some bone. Then you’ll be set for all occasions.

Lovely plethora !
It’s true- once you get the production line going
a lot more gets done.
The acrylics are cool, almost mistook them for spalted something.
