Here are the pens/pencils I turned for my Dad (teak) and Brother (the Bears fan). These are still in the first 20 pens I've turned so I'm still learning and the proportions a bit off in each set but oh well, I feel good about them so that's what really matters....right?

P.S. Thanks to those who suggested ways to keep me from splitting the Teak. I think the culprits were dull tools, poor gluing and overtightened mandrel nut....experience matters.
