Turning Apprenticeship

So i was recently asked to become a wand making apprentice. Two days ago i began my apprenticeship with turning a pen on a lathe. Once i get comfortable making pens, we will begin turning wands.

Here is the very first thing i've ever made on a lathe:





The pen is made of Bolivian Rosewood and takes Cross Refills.

This is secretly my father's birthday present; he has a refined taste for well-crafted tools and loves pens; he's gonna totally flip his lid!

Look forward to more pens and eventually wands ;-)
