Very nice. You did an awesome job! It’s pretty bad when you got to turn your own present, lol. I’m going to have to start turning some pens. I’ve only made one in my life,Spent little time in the shed this year.
Made this pen out of my secret Santa blank from @Lefley so I hope it does him proud, it will have a good place to display in our home.
Yellow Cedar Burr
Sanded to 600 grit
Sanding sealer
5 coats of CA (Thin)
Photo's are awful.

No just a 20mm hole drilled down, I dont have any hollowing tools but to be honest the weight of it as it is feels really nice in the handStig
That vase looks very smart. Did you hollow out the bottom? Good job! 🖒🖒🖒
I envy your talent. Not my style but I appreciate the skill involved. BTW is that a glue gun? ( I know....hat, coat.....)Frame for my latest drawing made entirely from scrap materials.View attachment 130269
ha ha brilliant, a glue gun yes, why not, originally it was whipped pink honey but glue gun is more apt in this forumI envy your talent. Not my style but I appreciate the skill involved. BTW is that a glue gun? ( I know....hat, coat.....)
Thats nice and clean, did you do much sanding?Got my first lathe a week or so ago. Decided to turn some firewood for practice. Came out alright I think.
No, I was in a hurry so it's largely straight off the tools. You can't really see it on the photo but there's a couple of areas where the parting tool marks are obvious. Deciding to get fancy tools seems to have paid off at least.Thats nice and clean, did you do much sanding?
Dont be too modest, clean cuts take skill and practice, to be honest I don't think fancy tools makes as much of a difference as correct use and sharp edges, fancy/expensive tools (in my opinion) only give you a longer lasting edge meaning you spend less time sharpening.No, I was in a hurry so it's largely straight off the tools.
