I’m still learning on how best to turn and finish a pen but these were OK and worth sharing. The bowl is yellow cedar. Comments and critiques welcome.

I don’t know much about pens (or anything else for that matter), but these look very good to me Alan. I like that you posted them together as it’s a little like shopping where you can compare and pick the ones you like best. Now for some criticism. Have you noticed that your photos are a little fuzzy? I sometimes have the same problem so I’m probably being a hypocrite.

Ha ha, I’ve looked at your projects Mike, you know lots. I agree the first picture is terrible. I should have let my wife take the pictures, she is much better at it.
