Patriot Pen, Craft Supplies, pics
Jim Shaver Oakville, Ont
>Hello,
I have recently joined the AAW and received the club�s winter magazine. It featured an article on pens that interested me very much, I seem to be on a pen turning obsession lately. I was very inspired by the feature article and some recent postings by Scott Greaves to try a new pen design, the Platinum Series Patriot design, from Craft Supplies in Utah.
Here are the results of my morning turning today,
From left to right the woods are bocote, curly koa, amboyna burl and birds eye maple (2). The finish is Mylands Friction Polish (first usage for me), applied over a final 600 sanded surface.
I added a Large Twist pen here for scale. The Patriot has a nice balance and weight, I like the twist top.
It�s a simple kit, nicely detailed parts and easy to assemble.
Thanks for viewing,
Take care,
Jim
