Looks great. My dad makes Pens too, he made me a burrly Maple one that I love and use often.
Nice! I'd like to do a maple burl pen sometime!
What I really like about making pens is:
1. It's not very difficult, once you have all the tools
2. Since I enjoy woodworking, it gives me a chance to work with
some exotic woods without breaking the bank!
Like knife collecting, though, it can get expensive. That Honduras rosewood burl pen and the reconstituted stone pen cost around $20 each just for the materials, and those are not expensive pen kits. Oh, that doesn't count the drill bit cost or the bushing cost. Usually there's a specific bushing set for each pen design and for me (starting out), I usually need to buy a drill bit when I get a new pen kit design.
