Here are a few pens I've turned in the past 2 months. I turned my first pen at the Pen-turn-athon in Dallas about 2 months ago. I'm still learning, as you can tell from the quality of the pens. I'm still working on shapes and getting that fit better, but all-in-all I'm happy with the results. I've struggled getting the CA to shine like other's I've seen, but I seem to be getting better.

Additionally, where I work at Perot Systems, I'll be featured in a newsletter where I provided them information on the Pen-turn-athon. Hence, the need for the pictures of all the pens. I'd be interested in hearing your comments about some things I could do to make my pens better.

Thanks

Chuck

For a shinier CA finish, get some micro mesh sanding pads and get some liquid plastic polish. It works like a rubbing compound and will make your CA finish shine like glass.
