Now that I have everything organized and put in there, my Uncle had a request for a wood pen he wanted me to make for him. I had not done any pens before so I did some research on them and got the parts I needed. What I needed was a pen mandrel for my lathe, which I found at our local wood working store. I also got one of each color of the starter pen kits. I did his in gun metal with some curly looking walnut. After I had practiced with all of the colors, I also made him a lathe turned case to go with it. He liked it a lot, so I also made one for my wood supplier to thank her for all the wood, and I got a request from my grandma to do one with Mahogany and copper.
My Dad got me a designer pen kit he thought I might like to try, so I laminated some woods together to try out on some pens, and see what I could do. I tried one to see how I liked it, and saw what I needed to do on the next one to make it work, and the next one I did was the designer pen kit. It came out really nice and my Dad liked it when I gave it to him, and I also made one for my Mom. So, after learning a new skill and doing some projects in between, I am happy that things have been turning out well! Pun intended - LOL!
