Christmas in June!
I have seen many sites on-line that talk about and show how to do what is called inside-out turning. These two ornaments are some of my first projects I have made using this method. I really like how this method of turning creates unique ornaments. I have seen people also do candle sticks and vases using this technique. I will be doing more of these as they are quite fun to make.
A Couple More Pens
These are a couple of more pens I have made recently that I just didn't have time yesterday to post. The top one is made from Bocote wood from South America, and below is made from Kingwood.

A couple of people at my work have seen my pens I have been making and wanted me to sell them some. Below are a few of these pen's, etc., that I have recently made and sold. I have simply put the name of the wood below each item.

Father's Day Gifts
I gave this pen to my Dad for Fathers Day. We enjoy golfing together, so I really wanted to give him one with a golf club clip. The wood is Canarywood.
Sorry this picture is fuzzy. This pen was given to my Father-in-Law. My wife wanted to help, so I showed her some basics to turning. She rounded out the blank and burned in the black lines. It was a lot of fun. The wood is Brazilian Rosewood.
My sister-in-law wanted to have me make a pen for her husband for Father's Day. This is a Broker style pen made from African Ebony wood that I made for her.
Last of all for Father's day I made these three viles for Consecrated Oil. I kept one, gave one to my dad and one to my father-in-law. They are made from Olivewood from the Holyland.
