Wood for brains

There's been quite a lot to distract me lately from doing paperlicious things, sadly. I have lots of projects I want to do, but I can't seem to work fast enough!

Keith, however, bought a new lathe and is learning how to turn pens. Pens are paperlicious, right?! His first one came out so good, I had to share:

It's made of walnut, which is one of my favorite woods, personally. I really like the little flare he made at the end, so your fingers don't slide down, and yet it doesn't scream "FINGER GRIP!" It just looks sexy.

He might just have a knack for this!
