Pens and Blanks

Postby Dalboy » 05 Apr 2015, 18:40

Not only do I turn pens but I thought that I would have a go at making my own blanks. Here are the first two that I have made this week. Turned today the first did not turn out as I expected but the second was nearly what I planned. The wife loves the second one.
