Two Firsts

[jpr28056]

These are both Sterling Silver Navigators that I turned over the weekend. The firsts are I had never done a fountain pen and I had never turned tru-stone. The red and black blank went fairly well but the blue one kicked my rear. I must have sharpened my skews 15 times before getting done with the blank but I think it was worth it. Any comments or suggestions are welcomed.

They look great to me. I think you did a wonderful job. You hit the mark on sizing the ends of the blank. They look spot on.

Nice work there, Joe!

Maybe you should save a photo for entry in the 2011 NC Woodworker calendar.

The fit and finish look superb.

Well done and thanks for sharing!:wsmile:
