This guy is amazing. If you like gear clocks, try one of these.

Fantastic job Tommy. Looks like you even have a nice display rack for them.

Another great idea. I'll add that to my list. Thanks.

...Arrowheads. I had some small pieces of spalted maple sitting around and couldn't toss them so I made some arrowheads. It took about 30 minutes to cut, shape, and apply the finish on all 8 of these. They are 2" and 2-1/2" long. I think I'll make a bunch more from other types of wood and put them in a $1 box at the next craft show. I'll also give them away to the kids that behave while visiting the booth. Could also drill a small hole and hang it like a necklace.

it's certainly a beautifully made pen, what finish have you put on it?

Keefie, I use a medium CA finish.

One of the things I like is turning pens. I picked up a piece of coffee wood from Woodcraft because it had some nice grain. After cutting a piece for the pen and turning and finishing it, this is what was hidden inside. Maybe I need a new eyeglass prescription or to change my drinking habits, but I see aliens in there.

Beautiful work Dan! I hope you meant 3/4", not 3'4"!

Thanks Dan. That's what happens when I'm lazy and don't proof read.
