slimline

This was my first attempt at a pen with a knot inlay. The barrel is honey locust and the inlay is mesquite. I was fairly happy with the knot, but the finish I was having issues with. This was also my first attempt at a CA/BLO finish. didn't turn out very well....guess I just guess I have to...

I've been turning pens for about 2 months now (I'm 18 years old). Mostly slimlines, but in the last two weeks I have experimented with a european and a electra. I'm new to the forum and this will be my first post with one of my first pens that isn't a slim. Criticism is welcome! P.S. sorry...

Saw this concept on the Pen Turners Facebook page and tried a couple. First time posting my work, so be kind! The first attempt was with bocote and the black chrome kit. The second was gluing curly maple and padauk cut on a 15 degree angle, topped off with the gun metal kit. Pretty fun!

I am a new pen turner, and these are my first 11 pens. I know they're nothing out of the ordinary, but I wanted to get some input of what I could do better. also, what do think they're worth, like in a market environment. I am only 15, so go easy

This wood was given to me from one of my oxygen patients. I told him if he would saw it up I'd make him a pen out of it. The next time I was at his house he had me a arm load of this spalted maple. So this is his pen in trade for the wood. I'll keep you all posted I will probably be selling...

Ok, first off I'll start by saying TY to Peter for the rebar idea. I decided to make it my own a little by adapting it to be a single barrel "slimline". Most of my tools are in storage awaiting the finish of my new shop(another thread) so I had limited tools on hand to work with. I had at my...

Made these 7 pens (odd # I know) for 2 coworkers (and both previous pen customers) wedding. They are TN slim and softgrips with cross clip. I wish they made the clip in TN as I hate to use the 10k gold plate but thats what the customer wants. The B.O. w/ cross clip in slim/soft grip and the...

Ive made several slimline pens but have noticed on a couple that after they are pressed together at least a week later the wood will crack where I pressed in the front part of the pen kit. I usually leave a large amount of wood at the end of the pen so if you have a reason that this is...
