I think it should hold a pen or 2 also :laf: Looks good Al
That turned out to be a good looking project. :congrats: I can see a lot of work and love in that piece. :highclap:
I recognize the wood :biggrin:. Neat looking holder Al.
Never seen pear turned before. Reminds me of Bethlahem Olivewood. Nice turning Al. I'm sure she'll like it!! :yoyo: :yoyo:
Hey you could make a full set of tumlbers :biggrin:
Thats a LOT better then the pen holder in my office. :doh2:
I walked out and grabbed a 6" length of 3" pvc off the floor over the by plumbers, gave it to one of the plumbers and asked him to glue me a bottom into it. :laf:
I'll take a pic of it tomorrow ya. :wink:
Here's my pen/pencil holder for the set I finally got around to making for myself. :yoyo: A piece of Tiger Maple glued to some walnut with 1/4" holes drilled thru the Maple just down to the Walnut at a 10* angle. I like Al's better but I don't have a way to hold it on the lathe to do that. And I aint seen Jim's yet but I gotta believe it's a looker!! :laugh2: :laugh2:
Function over form right Jimbo??!! :yoyo: :yoyo:

Now that is classy there...Al's pen holder, not your PVC Job Jim :innocentwhistle:
And Stop writing on the wall JIMBO!!!!! :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
That aint writing Al. That's what happens on Friday at quitting time when Jim cleans his desk & heads for home. He's not a very good aim is he?? :laf: :laf:
That sumanagun is holding them pens aint it? :yoyo: :yoyo:
I think I do that while I'm on the phone. It's one of those things you dont even realize your doing.
Kinda like scratching your junk in your sleep and then leaving your hand in there :puke:
note to self NEVER shake hands with Champion til AFTER lunch. :laf: :laf:
