Newton Pens - A Slick Evening And Website Cleanup

[Newton Pens]

First I want to let you know I cleaned my website up a bit. I organized the gallery and all the pens are organized by model, and then by size.

Then, I want to show off a pen I made today. Even with scraping paint off of my concrete patio for two hours, I still had the energy to stand up at my lathe and finish one off.

I left the ends unfinished and rough. I thought it added a really cool textural contrast.

Sweet pen, Shawn!

 

I don't know how you have any energy to stand at a lather after a couple hours in Akansas July heat!

Thanks!

 

As for the heat... well... we have a fan on the porch, so it's not TOO bad. Plus it's a covered porch - shady. But MAN it's hard work scraping 80+ years of paint off of concrete. Glad I got it (mostly) done. Now to install studs and short walls and screen for a screened in porch!
