Well I took my first shot at Pen turning today. In fact I’ve never even used a lathe before. I’m quite pleased with the results. I think I am going to do more of this. The red one is Honduras Rosewood and the other is Maple Burl.

Great work. You are in big trouble now and will find yourself hooked to the lathe for good. Show this work around a little and everyone you know will want their very own.

Nice. As said before: hard to believe they are one and two. They would be nice work for number 50.
