Pens

ok i did 5 more pens today. these are for gifts for the men coming to our fall party next month. these are majestic squire, my favorite. i think it's just a very elegant pen. there is a swarovrski crystal on the clip. the finish on the kit is gunmetal, also my favorite finish in a pen. the finish on the wood is 6 coats of gloss lacquer wet sanded with micro mesh. im not a CA glue fan at all. i keep that for "gluing" things !
pen #1 is koa. the pics arent the best but the best i can do with a phone camera.
pen #2 is ?
pen #3 is amboyna burl
pen #4 is cocobolo
pen #5 is red malee burl

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.

Nice looking pens...the amboyna burl is my pick of the bunch. 
I vote the Koa pen.    Well done.

Hey Pottz!  Great job on these pens.  Who ever gets one as a gift will love it.  i particularly like the cocobolo and the amboyna burl.   Classy!  
More great pens Pottz. You have been busy!

thanks guys. yeah i love the amboyna and im glad i had it from many years ago because today the best stuff can go for over 15.00 a blank !  tomorrow i got 6 princess pens to do for the ladies that will be coming to the party.

Glad you are making some for the lady's, Otherwise it wouldn't end well for you 💀

I'm a fan of the koa, but the amboyna makes for a fine pattern on lighter wood.

Really nice gifts, hope you also feed everyone!
I’ll bet your BBQ is going to get a workout.

Gotta admit, they're more befitting the curves (bulge).

Call me sexist, but I tend to reserve these type of single blank (usually Elegant beauty and such) for the ladies and the cigars for the big fisted blokes.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD

splint-are you kidding, forget the ladies !!!! it would not go well !
james-oh yeah ill be doing a few pork loins that night.
tony-thanks bud. yeah i wouldn't turn any down. trust me they look even better in person.
duckie-i just dont care for a pen that is a tube ! i want some shape to the body, just like the ladies ! and cigar pens are just way too big for most people.
