First pen!

Ok, I know this isn't a big deal to a lot of you folks, but I finished my first pen on the lathe!Being involved with the current screwdriver swap here on LJs, the dialog in the forum for it has been great! Among the dialog was discussion about upcoming swaps. One of the upcoming swaps might be a pen swap, and I've never made a pen. I'm pretty new on the lathe altogether, so the pen thing was intriguing. I headed over to Woodcraft and picked up a mandrel and a couple kits, and thought I'd give it a go. It was fun!This is a slimline kit, using a zebrawood blank. I kept it really simple for the first time out, without much dimension to the pen. Finished on the lathe up to 400 grit, then the entire series of micro mesh pads up to 12K. Then some Dr. Kirk's. Three coats of homemade friction polish, then Renaissance wax.Assembly was pretty easy, and it came out good enough! Showed it to my wife and she responded 'Nice! Thanks!' And proceeded to put it in her purse. I'll take that as a vote of confidence!

I had some cutoffs of Teak on a big outdoor kitchen area and decided to build a couple items.
Enjoy!
