Couple of things I started at least a year ago!

I have been seriously slacking on the penmaking front for the last year or more, life keeps interfering for some strange reason. However, even I do eventually get around to finishing up things from time to time.

The first pair are some blanks that Curtis was kind enough to not only demonstrate making for me, he even gave me the blanks! Thanks Curtis, I told you I would post the pics, you probably just didn't think it would be a year later!

The second is one of Eugene's "fire sale" blanks. No, not from this years fire sale, last years! It sat on the shelf over my lathe half turned, mocking me for way too long, but I got it in the end.... The closed end that is

Comments, recommendations, condolences, ect. welcomed.

Lookin good, James!

I was wondering where you'd been! :biggrin:

Very nice work. They are beautiful...

All good things come to those that wait. :biggrin:

I really like the way you made the center band insert.

Very nice looking pens. Lots of little extra details that make them special.
