I am glad you like your pen, Nancy! I used CA without BLO. That is how I finish all of my pens with inlays so that any crevices will be filled. Mahogany is very easy to turn and finish. I see why it has been so popular for woodworking in the past. I added the picture below for you.

My work is not as good as yours judging from your pics but just wanted to try and send a good one too you. Thanks for the comments I know I still need to work on the finishing.[:)]
 
Dario, I'll hang out by the mailbox. This is better than Christmas. At least I'll get something that will be a surprise and I'm not paying for. (And I do like Christmas). Lane
 
Just got my pen from LanceD a baron made with Midnight Ebony Dymonwood.[:D] Awesome pen.[:D][:D] Will try to have some pics up soon.

Wayneis your pen will ship Saturday. Having trouble with the finish but Virgil (Don Ward) is gonna help me out!!

Nils has received the pen I sent, here's a photo of it:

It is a CSUSA Executive in Canary Wood, with a spray lacquer finish. The lighting was set so it wouldn't glare, but it also doesn't show off the gloss... [:(]

Cheers,
Draken
 
Ron Mc, your pen went to the post office last night, hope you like it. BTW yes, I did survive my daugters sleepover. All were asleep around 2am, nothing broken, no one broken either [:D]
 
Turning…turning……sanding….buffing…..wait……yes….
all most …..buffing…….yes...could it be…..YES …YES…IM DONE!!!!!

Mr DCbluesman, your gift is on the way.

I would have posted a picture but im afraid after seeing it you might move before it gets there.
This bit of insecurity comes from my wife’s comments half way through my project.

In comparing my pen to your maple leaf pen, her words were something to the effect of.

“hahahahaha your going to give him that! Hahahah it looks like a two year old on crack did it…hahahhahh “

So I will post pictures after you receive it, then talk about the problems I had, (not counting wife).

hope you like it...pete

forgot to tell you, you should get it friday....
 
I got my pen from Woodmanplus yesterday. Today I had to get it away from my wife. She really liked the comfort grip. I've not made any, it has a really great feel and I am going to put it in my collectors box. It's a great pen. What kind of wood did you use?

Tom,
I did get the email with your address. The pen will sent out in the next few days. Here is a picture of it. It is an Easy Grip by PSI with Redwood Burl and a CA finish.

I am still a beginner. I have now turned 1 key chain, 5 letter openers, 2 pencils and 13 pens. Yours was lucky number 13. It was my first attempt at a CA finish and if we learn by trial and error, then I learned a lot on this one. Hope you like it.

Paul, I got the pen today and it looks even better than the picture. I like it a lot, thank you.
 
WEll I just got my pen from Nils. What a good looking pen. I do like it and will prolly use it as my daily writer for a while. As it stands I usually carry a Cigar pen around and this one will now be the one for a while.

Thanks again for the Pen exchange. I do have a lot of fun doing the pens for this.

I received my pen today. WOW!! Looks to be either ash burl or amboyna burl with a BT Jr. Gent kit. Any of these woods right? Also your finish is absolutely amazing. Please tell me what your finish is. Is this CA?
 
Serge,
Put your pen in the mail today. Expect it in about 8 or 9 days. Had to go through the Post Office customs procedure. I am still trying to figure why a strip search and body cavity check was necessary by the Postal associate. I feel violated. [:0] Anyway I sent a splated oak Cigar with an Enduro finish. Hope you like it.
Also wanted to say Thanks to John Burright for the Corn Cob Sierria and blanks. I payed it forward and sent some blanks to Serge, one of them a Paduk from the set john sent to me. Love this program.

Greg I will put my banana lounge in front of my box to check out the posty[:D] sorry by the dilemma you have at the post office sure this one will be nutured next to the first one I have last year, will let you know for sure when I recieved it, thanks a lot
 
I haven't even given any thought to you forgetting...I'm sure the pen will be top notch...The fun part of being in this group is the occassional "pen-in-the-hat" that I get to add to my collection. The ones made by the members of this and the Y!PT group that have traded with me are the most prized ones in my collection. Looking forward to adding yours...take your time and when it happens, it happens.
Do a good turn daily!
