Description}: Satin pearl cigar twist pen, home made blank consisting of silmar 41 polyester resin colored with pearl Ex powders, and Caribbean Rosewood, finished with 6 coats of thin CA for the wood, It�s rather challenging cutting something with this many different densities, Carbide didn�t notice that!

Description}: There was a thread about metal pens, this was done with out using brass tubes, just drilled with a C drill and reamed to .244, the ends were chamfered and the nib installed, the transmission was a wee bit tight so I had to open that end up to .245 which was still snug, but it fit, I did this on a metal lathe and this is actually the first pen I ever made, we decided it would be one of the more useful tools our students could have. It's 6061 aluminum with gunmetal fittings,

Description}: This was my second attempt at a bowl, it has a Boiled Linseed Oil finish, It's a bit better than my first Cedar bowl, and has a real back base on it, I still have no Idea what I'm doing, I use it to put my pocket change in.

Description}: Was tired of turning pens, So I grabbed a chunk of Cedar from my yard, screwed it to a backplate and went after it, I had no Idea what I was doing, I finished it with mineral oil, but it appears to have soaked in.
