Gentlemen's Pen

Jim Shaver Oakville, Ont

>Hi,

Like many of you here I enjoy turning pens, it's been over 5 years Since Bill Grumbine taught me how. One of the exciting things in turning a pen is trying a new design/style. Today I did just that, I turned my first Gentlemen's Pen from Craft Supplies. It worked out great, this is a large pen, beside my favorite to turn Large Twist pen it still is big.

The wood in both cases is curly maple with a brown and white Hut stick application followed by an application of Mylands friction polish.

Take care,

Jim

>Nice work, Jim! I am just a day or two away from trying the Gentlemen's pen. Good to see one not in a catalog.

What version of the Large Twist pen do you use to create your favorite?

>Hi Lou,

Thanks very much.. I think the large twist pen's are all the same, not sure. I buy my kits from Lee Valley, they are local to me.
