Pen Tactix is Competing

Often pen turning groups will have contest to show off (and learn) pen making and wood turning skills.  Pen Tactix has an entry currently in a contest requiring using slimline components, eliminating 2 parts, building an original pen.

I decided to eliminate the center ban and the end cap. This is a one piece pen, done in Applewood.  The end piece has been made from black acrylic.  This came out quite well and is a very pretty pen!

Thanks for looking,

Any Big Rapids High School Fans?

Trimline_Corian BRH CRMI made this one tonight thinking of a local Big rapids High School alumni. This one is a very nice trim pen made from corian in the school’s blue and red theme. This one has grooved grips and a stylus tip for use on mobile touch screen computers. I did this one in a chrome finish, and polished it to a mirror like finish. Remember, if you want unique Pen Tactix is your source!

Thanks for viewing, Mark
