Gorgeous looking pen Bob. I have to admit I did have a smile when you had to change the bushing so you could put it all together. Take care Bob. Cheers, Huw

[@RJBWoodTurner]

Thank you Huw, You never know what to expect when making a pen. There are always little challenges along the way. 😁 Regards, Bob

[@nightmaresnightly]

Love your pen making videos and love your voice man! Would listen to you narrate on discovery channel or something all day

[@RJBWoodTurner]

Thank you, I really appreciate that . 😀 Regards, Bob

[@Bob_H]

Nice pen Bob, waiting for the colored pencil blank turning.

[@RJBWoodTurner]

It’s not that impressive, I really need to fines the footage.

[@alanmullock381]

Cracking good job Bob👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😎

[@RJBWoodTurner]

Thank you Alan. Regards, Bob

[@CrossCutCreations]

Marking the cigar bushings is smart. I'm very similar in the sense that I spend a ton of time making sure I have the blanks oriented correctly to the bushings/kit. Another great turn, Bob!

[@RJBWoodTurner]

Thank you Robert. Regards, Bob

[@markduggan3451]

That is a stunning blank expertly turned into an awesome pen.

[@RJBWoodTurner]

Thank you Mark. Regards, Bob

[@maverickworkshop]

Bob, hope it’s ok to say that I enjoy your voice. I’m no stranger to pen making but I enjoy watching it anyway. Nice work too 😅 -Jon

[@RJBWoodTurner]

Thank you Jon, I appreciate that. 😀 Regards, Bob

[@kwstasantwniou243]

Thank you for sharing this video. Beautiful pen !!!👍

[@RJBWoodTurner]

Thank you Kwstas. Regards, Bob

[@davenewkirk1642]

Great looking pen Bob, thanks as always for great step by step instructions.

[@RJBWoodTurner]

Thank you Dave, Regards, Bob

[@matthewrichards5941]

Beautiful pen! I love the contrasting woods and clean lines.

[@RJBWoodTurner]

Thank you Matthew, It is a beautiful blank and I may have to try to reproduce it with other wood types. Regards, Bob

[@raystevens687]

Thanks Bob for sharing your journey of this blank. It turned out great

[@RJBWoodTurner]

Thank you Ray. Regards, Bob

[@Bob_H]

Side note, I have seen people feel for lip between the blank and kit. I know that for competition that is the first test, fail it and the pens out no matter how it looks. And your fingers can feel easily a 64th and often a 128th of an inch.

[@RJBWoodTurner]

That is always one of my first tests.

[@paulwaldrop]

Beautiful pen. Thanks for doing it, and let me know if you want any more cutoffs.

[@RJBWoodTurner]

Thank you Paul. Regards, Bob

[@donaldtrabeaux5235]

Beautiful pen Bob awesome job.

[@RJBWoodTurner]

Thank you Donald. Regards, Bob

[@georgewilmore7599]

I need to mark my bushings as well. It beats going thru all of the bushings to get the right one.

[@RJBWoodTurner]

It sure does George. Regards, Bob

[@dwightl5863]

Nice pen. Anyone discover a coating that will keep the purple heart purple over time?

[@RJBWoodTurner]

This that I’ve heard. It faces if not exposed to sunlight. Regards, Bob
