New Pens

Hi, Here are a couple more pens I turned today

The first one is a gold european in cross grain morado. I turned this one for a customer but they changed their mind at the last minute before they ever saw it



This is another european but this time in wenge that rocker gave me



This last one was for fun. This is a slim line kit I had left over from when I first started turning. This is purpleheart

Boy that customer really missed out on a beautiful pen. Alex all your pens are great. How about giving us old guys some pointers?

Hi Robert,

Alex is already in bed but he'll have some pens with him tomorrow. He's a little short of stock until the group pen buy goes through
