Wagers on Mike and Phillip - Black Palm Pen

[MikeH]

The pen is finished and boy did it turn out nice!!! We had no splintering or chip out. The kit and wood really compliment each other. I'm leaving the honor of posting pics to Phillip. They should be up in about 30 minutes or so when he gets home.

Phillip did everything on the pen except for applying the CA finish. He did a great job especially for his first pen. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap Great job Phillip!!!:icon_thum

Phillip, you are SOOOOO done for! You won't be able to resist the call of that lathe now! You are in the same spot Mike was after he came over to my place and first tried it out! Resistance is futile!!!:rolf::rolf::rolf:

Has any one checked to see if he is OK?

:rolf: :rolf: He made it home alright, despite being almost blinded by the joy of his first pen. But alas he was a little slow on posting the pics it took him 42 minutes to get them up :lol: :lol: :lol:
