Beech Premier Cigar Pen - My Thid Pen

[MrAudio815]

Hey Everyone,

I finally Turned my Third pen....:swoon: That took me forever.

Well I gave it to my Dad in Memory of his Mother (My Grandma Bills) who died 27 Sept 2009.


Here's a couple pics of the Pen & the Reciever, Dennis Bills, my Dad.

Beech wood from Erasmussen (Earl)... Thanks Earl~!:icon_thum

You done good.
Don't wanna capture the thread, but I gave pens to all my family last year. They really loved them. This year my sister wants all of us to do a handwritten letter to our parents for a scrapbook. They are 85 + 83. I told her the letters had to be written with MY pens! She said' "Absolutley". You'll find families & friends really enjoy them.

Great looking pen. That is some neat looking wood. It matches that kit very well. I don't think I have actually sold a pen since I started making them. I just give them all away to friends/family.

Thanks Everyone for the kind comments so far...

Rcflyer... Really haven't sold one pen yet. Thats funny, me either :gar-Bi Then again I have only made three. I know you have made plenty.

I have a few people from church that say they want to buy some of my Bowls and pens...Will see if it comes true. It would be nice to make money during Christmas, instead of it all going towards it. :rotflm:

He doesn't smile much for pictures, :no: but he kept pulling it out of his Pocket and looking at it :elvis: and saying wow, and smiling :gar-Bi. Then he would keep saying to the family, have you seen the coolest pen I have ever recieved? Have you seen my new cool pen? He kept saying those lines, and it made me feel good to know I had touched his heart, He also gave me a big hug and told me he is proud of me. :icon_thum Very nice to hear! :gar-Bi

Love the wood! When I first looked at the small pics it almost looked like a design or graphic in the wood. Very nice!

Of course you didn't mess it Up, Theres was plenty of wood left to turn down and sand out.
