And yes another one but last one from me for now

[NZAPP1]

This is the last pen for awhile it is CORIAN. After turning 36 pens for gifts and 21 for the troops and some that sold I am done for now

I have some bowls to turn and when they are done I will be turning this

It is 11 x 11 x 6 curly sycamore from Jeff. Then I have some shop jigs and some other projects that need to be made now that I do not need the crutches :eusa_danc

Sweet pen Nick. I can't wait to see how that Sycamore turns out. My hunk is waiting on me to finish all my Xmas gifts, before I can start to mangle it :lol: :lol:

57 pens...you really need to go back to work :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

That Corian really looks nice, Nick!

I swear that you guys can turn just about anything into a masterpiece!

That is really a whole lot of pens in a short period of time, Nick. I agree with Dave, time to switch to a new project!

Congrats on throwing away those old crutches! You must feel "free as bird"!

Great work......as usual, Nick!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

I will still turn pens I like it but I have been putting off work that need to be done in the shop and some customer jobs that need to get done also.

I hope no more surgeries but only time will tell

Striking pens Nick! And probably indestructable :lol:
Was the Corian hard? Are your chisels a half inch shorter now?

Corian pen turned out great. Glad to hear you're off the crutches. Been there, done that, no fun!! You could always turn a few pens from the crutches, just to remember.

It was a hard material and smelled like plastic when turning. I have white dust all over the lathe that sticks not like wood that drops to the bench. I did have to sharpen the tools twice though :rolf:

 

[cskipper]

Gee Nick, if the crutches are already hollow surely there is some way to utilize them - maybe a pen for King Kong :lol: Glad to hear you are off the crutches. Then pen looks great.

Glad to hear that you can now hobble around on your two legs -- I'm sure you are happy the crutches are history! Pens turning has been magnificent -- loking forward to seeing the bowls....

Cheers,
