I turned a few pens today in an attempt to get one good one to include in the pen swap. These are made from bowl scraps from past projects. I need some help from fellow Lumberjocks to pick the lucky pen. The first one is from my Big Leaf Maple bowl. The second pen is made from Crotch Honey. The final pen is made from Nice Piece of Ash. The picture of the ash pen is kinda washed out. It looks much nicer in person. These are all unique because they are turned using end grain. Which one do you like?

I like the middle one best, but I’ll gladly send you an address where you can send the two you don’t put in the box.

Trifern,
I’m voting for “Crotch Honey” ‘cause I like the name! Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to decide, they’re all excellent!

the first one went in the swap and I snatched it. Been using it for a month at work. Very comfortable to use and it gets compliments all the time.
