This is the latest pen that I turned a couple weeks ago. It took me over 6 hrs to turn since the wood was unstable and had to be stabalized with lots of thin CA.

That’s a good lesson in turning. “Stick with it, something pretty cool might result.” And it did. Great pen!

Lets see $45.00 per hour plus profit. Should sale for 15 to 20 bucks. Great job. Nice looking wood.
