I just started turning pens and turned three pens earlier this week that I was going to post, until I saw Les Elm’s Baron pen. His put mine to shame . I did turn one today that, although not the quality of Les’, it is my best yet.

This is a Woodcraft Wall Street II, Standard Gold, turned from Quilted Maple. I sanded to 600, then wet sanded with BLO at 600. I then applied six coats of CA, sanded with Micro-Mesh to 12,000 then buffed with Carnauba wax.

Critique and comments are welcomed.
 
Looks super, Chuck. :thumb: I wish my fifth pen looked that good.

And don't be intimidated by Mack...he just gives us all a nice high goal to reach for. ;)
 
Thank you all for the kind comments and encouragement! I turned three more pens that I am pretty happy with and will turn a few more tomorrow. I’ll post some pictures after they are done. This is FUN!!!:thumb:
