In today’s pen turning video, I turn a European Round Top pen using Palo Santo Rosewood and chrome hardware. I like turning this wood. I love how nicely it turns and how it finishes. The best part has to be how the wood will change over the next couple of weeks, lightening up and exposing…

In this week’s pen turning video, I turn an Algonquin rollerball pen using Oak from a Jim Beam whisky barrel and with satin chrome hardware. I enjoyed turning this pen. For a while, I was mulling over how to shape it but things came together nicely as soon as I put the blanks on the…

Pen Turning | Purple Poly Resin and Gaboon Ebony with Gold Hardware Baron Fountain Pen
In today’s video, I turn a Baron fountain pen. Initially, I was working on a RAW brass pen with Black Palm wood but that didn’t work so I switched gears. I tried a new process for finishing this pen, using Yorkshire Grit fine and microfine abrasive pastes. In the end, I’m not too excited about…

Pen Turning | “Sorry” Poly-Resin Pen Blank with RAW Brass Fountain Pen Hardware
In today’s video, I turn a poly-resin blank – the design is called “Sorry.” The final pen uses RAW brass hardware. I think the colours work great together. I like that this RAW brass kit has a clip on the lid – many don’t. This blank took a good hour and a half to turn down…

Pen Turning | Purpleheart Gear Shift Pen
In today’s video, I turn a gear shift pen with Purpleheart wood. I think the curved profile works well with this kit, complementing the weight of the pen. I chose a high-gloss, CA finish because, well, it’s like a freshly waxed car – shiny. The mechanism for this pen is a lot of fun to…

Bowl Turning | Leopardwood Bowl
In this video, I turn a Leopardwood bowl. It’s fairly small at 4″ in diameter and 2″ thick. This is one of four that’ll be in a set together. The wood was tricky to work with. It has a varying grain pattern and is quite hard. In the end, it turned out pretty well. Shopify:…

Pen Turning | Bloodwood with Chrome Hardware Sedona Rollerball
In this video, I turn a Sedona rollerball pen with bloodwood and chrome hardware. This has to be one of my favourite-looking woods with its rich red colour and highlight accents. The CA finish just makes it shine. I like the lines of this pen, in the grain, shape, and pen grip. It seems to…
