Too much time spent working, too little playing with the gear in my workshop and making pens…

Still, thought I would post a few recent ones for fun, 'cause you others pen makers are making me feel like a slacker:

A Charger Lava 'Classic' style:

I guess that was a bit of a photo dump. But who doesn't like perusing pics? :-)

Thanks for looking!

Wow! These are all beautiful, but that curvy model with the Amboyna Burl and African Blackwood is exquisite!

Hi Ken very nice work indeed.
I am very pleased to say that I have recently swapped some of my work for some of your work.
A beautiful Black Bamboo pen with a matching pen rest has recently joined my collection.

Cool! What kind of work did you trade for it?

I often have trouble letting go of items I have made or restored, to soften the blow I like to include a pen into the arrangement.
For this project I was given a choice and chose your pen because I appreciate the craftsmanship involved

I am going to make a leather case for both the pen and its rest.

Very nice work. They all look great but I tip my hat towards the amboyna and Blackwood.
