Turning Pens

Late last year I started turning pens on the lathe.  I started with a combo pack and quickly made my first few pens.  My wife still cherishes the first pen I made even though I'm a bit embarrassed about it.  "I got better."  Once I got the hang of it I invited my coworkers to help me out by making custom pens for them for the cost of the materials.  It was a good deal for them and let me try pens I never would have tried on my own.  I've lost count of the pens I've made, but here are a few pictures.
