I had the honor of making a few items lately for gifts. The first is a set of Sierra knurl ti gold and chrome pens. These were made for my neighbors who just celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. The pens were made from hickory nuts I gathered from their family tree in their front yard, cast in bronze resin. It's a tree her parents planted when they lived there.
The second is a cancer awareness pen made from one of my pink and purple flower blanks sets, for a friend.
The third is a pen I made from micarta and black resin to take a bic refill. My wife wanted a pen like this after seeing a pen Dick Sing Made in a demo. The micarta blew up on me while turning so I glued in some black resin to make it long enough to hold the Bic ink stick.
The last picture is a group of stylists I made for my son and his friends this school year. A stylist was on their list of supplies since they have issued iPads at school now. When my wife couldn't find a nice stylist for sale anywhere, she asked me to make him one. He was happy to let his friends all pick one too.
The last are a couple of Afghanistan service ribbon pens I'm giving to a man at the local American Legion.
