Love the wood! When I first looked at the small pics it almost looked like a design or graphic in the wood. Very nice!

Of course you didn't mess it Up, Theres was plenty of wood left to turn down and sand out.

Thanks for coming over and seeing how things work in my slow shop.

Ah.......

But this is a Woodcraft PenKit and not a PennState Pen Kit.

If you look at the two directions you will notice they are far from each other on how you turn them and put them together.

The WoodCraft Premier Cigar Pen Kit is MUCH EASIER~!

WoodCraft Kit: http://www2.woodcraft.com/PDF/77C21.pdf

PennState Kit: http://www.pennstateind.com/library/PKBIGRP_ins.pdf

As you can see in the two Kits instructions the Woodcraft instructions are much easier to follow....I actually almost messed this pen up, because I was following the PennState's ins.

The Woodcrafts are cheaper too.
