Was that the sandalwood you were all worked up about trying??
You sounded hot to trot on that stuff last we talked.
Don't let the future in-laws catch you snorting sawdust now, no matter how good it smells!!! :nono::nono:

Not the sandalwood.:( I'm trying to find the best kit to compliment that blank.
Take your time Harry. Never rush an Artiste!!!!!
Have fun,

Tonight had a lot of bad mojo. I finished two pens only to find serious flaws (one in assembly, and one got a hairline crack).
But either way, here they are. I will remake ones very similar to them (because there is no exact in wood working) very soon.
This one was for Ilija, but it's the one I assembled wrong, will correct tomorrow night with a new blank and proper assembly.

And this one was for Paul (heliguy) in trade for a razor. This one got the hairline crack:

My fiancee is going to use it for her letter writing. I will do another one of these tomorrow also. After that, I'm done with pens until Monday.
I will keep myself to two pens a day.
Here are those two pens together:

Other pen attempts this evening led to split blanks, massive tear out, or more bad assembly.
I guess I'll have better luck next time.
Peace and joy,
Harry, that's amazing work! I'm going to score some serious points with this gift :nj
That looks great. I better get my finger out and finish the trade piece.
When it's done, it will look almost exactly like that. Just a minor set back that will be corrected.Quote:
