My bride's Birthday gift and a first for me

Nice turning Rick. I really like the finish and the detail. Looks like you and your lathe are getting along wonderfully.

Very Cool, Nice details.
Pen turning is easily addictive. I have been grounded since I had foot surgery on one of my feet and I haven’t been able to get back in front of the lathe. But I got some new tools I cant wait to try!! Welcome to sleepless nights of thinking of all the different ways to turn a pen.

Wow,Nice my litle girl would love that….. what kind of kit is that??

Very nice job on that pen,Rick. I’ll bet she like that one!!
There are some for sale at the art fair today. I’ll check on the prices when I get there and give you a call.
I know Lis sells the bolt action ones for $35 but the guts cost about $12.
