200th Pen

[Todd in PA]

It's my last day of mandatory quarantine, and I made one more pen. It is my 200th pen. I've been excited to use one of the red mallee burl i got a few weeks back. I segmented it with ebony and aluminum. I cut all the pieces separately and assembled them on the tube. Start to finish 4 hours, including the finial I made while the 5 minute epoxy set. Hope you like it!

A lovely bit of timber, Todd, well turned and finished.
Excellent wee finial.

Never counted my pens. Your 200th looks great. Bet you can see the difference since your first. Here's to your next 200.

great job, ebony and aluminum make a nice contrast, how thick is the alumimum slice?

 

[Todd in PA]

Thank you. The aluminum is .7 mm. I'll probably try to shorten the finial on the next one.

That is a very handsome pen, the finial was a great touch....
