love these pens. I like the bigger pen sizes myself. Got to get going on my lathe again.

Love these pens, I’ve been thinking of making some thicker pens as well.

Nice pens rikkor – the thickness of them are excellent for someone with arthritis.

Thanks all for the kind comments.

Nice looking pens. How does the acrylic turn as opposed to wood?

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Thanks trifern. The acrylic actually turns pretty easily. Start with a sharp gouge, take it easy going in until it is cylindrical. Then it turns pretty normally. It really polishes up nice with micro mesh.

Great looking pens, I really like the color of that acrylic blank.

-- i cut it twice and it is still to short

Love that acrylic one. I want to start turning so bad but I have to save up for a lathe first. Great job.

Those are awesome… now you’ll have me nosing around the acrylic pen blanks next time at woodcraft.. great job!

-- All the test cuts in the world won't stop you from cutting the outside when you meant to cut the inside. doh!

That purple is so neat… could make a nice LSU pen out of it!
