Standing Pen

We appreciate them all. That being said this 1 is a specially nice

Love the design Barb. Understand about the patience required working with dense wood. I hollowed out some very old and petrified osage orange that laughed at my hollowing tool. Only time, so far, I had a log laugh at me and it was pretty scary :)

Your patience has come thru Barb with this tricky piece of timber, it just looks so feminine & it it’s easy to to see a ladies touch in the making, looks kinda “slinky” (hope you dont take offence with that description, but it’s just …. very nice shape)

Neat-o!! real nice job and a very different pen.
I like this one a lot. I like the look of the wood, never heard of it before thanks for the info on it.
Thanks for sharing.

LIKE. Maybe if I stand it by the phone I may a pen to use when I need it. Well done.

That is pretty amazing. I’d never thought of that idea. Sylish and flawless.

This a very nicely done piece, and unique. I especially like you write up on the project.

Thanks, all. It does like a bullet pen, doesn’t it? And Pete, thank you, I take your words as compliments, but I find it a bit ‘bulky’ looking (female wanting it more refined, I guess.) I have one more of these kits to do from a different wood later (definitely a different wood) and intend to sweep it in to the center in more of a cove if possible. I find it hard to tell what I’ve done when something is laying horizontally on the lathe! I put things up vertical and they look different than I though they would, or different than in my ‘mind’s eye.’
But thank you. I’m glad you all were so impressed!
