'nother pen

Tried something new. Purpleheart w/ maple bands. What'cha think?

Very cool, and your band placement is excellent. Very symmetrical and balanced :eusa_clap :eusa_clap Did you have problems keeping the PH sanding dust out of the Maple pores??

I guess ignorance is bliss, didn't even know I might have problems with the PH dust!:lol: After I sanded everything, I wiped it down with mineral spirits.

First off nice execution on the symetry nelson.
Dave-
If you use a sanding sealer or thin Ca when you start your sanding there is very little transfer of color either from the wood or the bushings.
I use a lot of contrasing woods in my blanks and don't usually have that problem.

Ed,
That's a fine looking pen! You're making great strides in "penmanship" :icon_thum Apparently turning unleashes your creativity.

I like it, but I want to see the other side.
