For the Troops

Where I work we packed up care packages for 3 servicemen that were sons and (fiance?) of coworkers. I have alsways wanted to make pens for serviceman but never got it done. So this was my chance. I made one for each and one for them to give to a buddy. The three on left are oak with black penworks, and 3 on right are walnut with silver finish. The middle one is red, whit, and blue wood strips. Its a blank I picked up at Rockler, boy was it touchy to turn. I used lacquer as a finish so I hope it holds up in that hot sandy region.

Thank you to the guys and gals who go to those regions and keep the war over there and off US soil.

MD and inlace

This is a twist pen with a MD clip. The blank is called infared. Impressive.

Walnut and woodburned

This one I made for my olders brother. It is walnut with his name woodburned in it and 3 rings turned in the grip so your fingers dont slide.

First fountain pen

Well, I finsihed my first fountain pen. It is molton metal inlace with 10kt gold finish. Artisian kit. The prop is spalted maple, and yes I turned it also.

What is Aunt Rose going to came up with next?

Euro Rod

This pen set is made from Euro rod (no longer available). It is a pen/pencil set with titiaum finish. I also had to custom make the holder to hold the pens because they were made larger at the base for easy grip. The case is maple and walnut.

Pecan set

A pen and pencil set made from pecan.
The box is maple.

John Deere strips

This custom made pen was for a John Deere lover. It took some time but I finally found a green and yellow inlace that were about the right colors. Accent it with the titanium finish and I think it works well. Too bad I no longer work at a John Deere Dealership.

The twilight zone?

For this one, we were looking for a comet look, the milky way inlace fit the bill well.

Purple ones

The top one in purple inlace with titanium finish. the bottom one is violet/pink inlace. It is a gold finish pencil. Both custom made.

Golden red set

These were custom made from golden red inlace. The finish is 10kt gold. I will take any advice on how to get a sharper photo.

Cocobolo set

This is a pen/pencil set custom made for a customer.
It is cocobolo wood with a 10kt gold plating finish.
The case is maple.

Wooden ones

The top one is cherry with a gold finish. The bottom one is pecan wood with black finish. The wood is so much easier to work with.

Cotton Candy

These pens were made from inclace, called cotton candy. I put some fancy turnings into the front one. That was difficult so it will cost more to have that design done.

blue and white set

A pen and pencil set done in blue and white acrylic swirl.

more to come

Thanks for looking at my website. I have turned many more pens, especially some wooden ones that are not in digital format yet. I will try to get photos of them online soon back soon may be next week. Also next week I will have posted some pen/pencil sets with engravings for you to look at.

Tonya's Pen

So you hand someone your pen to sign a paper...and they dont hand it back...that is stealing, but most people honestly dont realize that they are doing that. So get your name put on the pen. This is rather a crude attempt on my part. It is difficult to grind out a name, fill it and turn it back down. I recommend we take it to an engraver and get it done neatly.

Jersey

You know like the Jersey milk cows...Black and White

I turned a gold ring around the top end of the pen.
