Pens for the Troops

These are being sent to the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Left to right- Maple, Purpleheart, and Cherry.
I wish you could see the tiny birdseyes in the maple- very cool. Hopefully the purpleheart will go to a purple heart recipient, and not serve as an omen to someone who hasnt yet recieved one. I played around with different ways of adding BLO before Qualasole and ren wax.

The one on the far right I am most proud of- thats the one my 12 yr old daughter did

I thought I had already posted here. Very good. They are all excellent and if I had my pick I think it would be the one second from the right.

Thank you Bren- Honestly that was one of my favorites too. It was rather plain, and the voids in the grain were really wide. I rubbed it down with sanding dust and CA and then hit it with BLO- I was really impressed with how it turned out
