This is the pen that belonged to the post of Feb 15th of the maple and african blackwood at 30 degree angle cuts
I retired several years ago as a field service manager for a Caterpillar dealer for many years. I always liked working with my hands specializing in anything made of wood. I like wood with veriable grain in it,which make a very beautitful piece of work as you apply the finish. I took a course on pen making at Lee Valley Tolls,and I take a great deal of pride in this as my hobby.
