Ok I do turn Pens

[TB Roye]

Here are some pens I turned this past week after spending a week in Idaho watching the grandkids. It felt so good to get home a get out in the shop for awhile.

Picture #1 Platnium Atlas, the 2 Princess Pens for 4 year old Grandaughters
(credit card pens) Red European Pen and Boise State Bronco Pen for Grandson the clip will be change to a football clip and the barrel it will be turned down a little to fit his hand. I am also thinking of disassembling it and turning it into a slimline as he is just turning 7 and will fit him better.

Picture #2 Maple given to me at Woodworkers show by Crafts Supply, Bethlehem Olivewood set for a woman at church who has been on the alter guild for 30 years and a Pen and Pencil set in Chrome and Canarywood slimline. I noticed the bad clip as I getting ready to take picture will change it and get a new one. I am going to have to practice taking pictures of these pens they look a lot better in person.

You can get them from Woodturniz and other vendors. I get mine from Craft Supply the site is www.woodturnerscatalog.com They have a variety of clips and center bands but only for two styles of pens. The slimline and European. The clip come only in 10K or 24K gold while the center bands have 3 styles and gold or a silver band. I get my kits from Woodcraft, Craftsupply, Woodturingz and PSI depending on the price and what I want, always looking for sales.
