My first pen. Walnut with paste wax finish. Pics a little fuzzy. I'd take another, but gave it to a friend who loved it the night I finished it.

Ain't that the way it always seems to go? Oh Well! Nice pen anyway! Thanks for showing us.

It's a cigar pen from Woodcraft with copper finish fittings. I have problems with hand cramping with thin pens so wanted something easier to hold.

That is what is so nice about creating your own stuff--you can tailor it to your needs. To bad you only had a change to make a few scribbles and write your name a few times before your friend got hold of it. Good excuse to make another though. Nice job.
Regards,

I don't mean to hijack this thread, however has anyone here purchased pen kits from Berea Hardwoods?
