Well, I like to make things. Here's a new hobby that I've picked up; pen making. Here are a few that I've made: ![[Linked Image from farm3.static.flickr.com]](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2741/4366782077_67003ab63f_b.jpg) ![[Linked Image from farm3.static.flickr.com]](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2690/4366782079_38de45c1f7_b.jpg) ![[Linked Image from farm5.static.flickr.com]](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4058/4366782081_f0b877e1c4_b.jpg) These are some of the nicer ones of about 10 to 15 that I've made. From left to right they are amboyna burl (sapwood and heartwood), honduras rosewood burl, cocobolo, and reconstituted stone. The amboyna and cocobolo are finished with CA glue and sanded/polished to a shine. When I have the chance, the honduras rosewood burl will be finished the same way.

Those are awesome! You should share the pics at EDCForums. They have a whole subforum just for pens and writing. Probably find a lot of people that would really appreciate them. Might even find some buyers to fund some knife purchases! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if you don't take it out and use it, it's going to rust.

Thanks again for the compliments.
Myketheknife, yes, they do come in kits. Anything that looks like metal or plastic is part of the kit. The wood is purchased as a blank that gets cut, drilled, turned to size, and finished. There are also acrylic blanks and several others of the reconstituted stone.
