Turning a Slimline Pen - Beginner Project - Page 9

A continuing look at a few of the slimlines and their friends.

Slimline in secupira

Slimline in secupira. I got a piece of this in Halifax from a shops cut off bin and it made some nice pens.

Slimlines from counter top material

I was at a local supplier of counter tops made in a material similar to Corian™ and got a couple of pieces of scrap from them, enough for several pens. These were made from the material as a thank you.

Another slimline in secupira. This wood does not have a lot of grain and I am supprised how popular it has been for me.

rollerball turned from figured, bird's eye' maple

For a different look at pens and possiblilities, this is a rollerball turned from figured, bird's eye' maple. There is a greater set of skills needed for turning these pens but after a few slimlines, it is certainly attainable.

This figured, bird's eye maple fountain pen is turned from the sister kit to the roller ball. It is one of my favorites.
