Thank You Pen

Hi Joel,

This is a really gorgeous pen. I am sure that Sue will appreciate it as I appreciate the story behind the post.

Thanks for sharing and enjoy your time with your son.

Nice job. Being new to pen turning, I appreciate seeing good examples. I like the subtle shape variation to the lower part.I might have to try that kind of shape. Mine have been pretty basic up to now. -SST

Nice job. How do you finish yours?

Hi, Joel.

I just wanted you (and everyone else here) to know how much I appreciate the pen – it’s gorgeous!

Actually, I think we both worked hard to keep each other sane. It was terrific to have such a talented resource helping to direct and prioritize the software implementation and to smooth out the rough edges.

Smoothing rough edges must be a specialty of yours – both in your job and woodworking! Have I told you lately how glad I am you work where you do?

Thanks, again.

Sue

Nice pen and good sentiment.

Thanks everyone, again thanks Sue.

SST – I have only done about 20 pen and pencils, my son that is home on leave is where i got the shape of pen. It resembles one he had done in school and gave to me as a gift.

rikkor – i will sand the pens to 600 to 1200 grit, then use Hut wax sticks. First I light brown wax then the creamy white.
