    Default Good idea Bad execution

    Hey yall
    Spent all day cleaning up the shop and finaly was able to make a pen. I had an idea but I did not realy think it through. First off I dislike this kit/ no parts fit have to glue it together/ besides that the kit does give a good look. I forgot to take into account of the cb that the wood had to be removed so I lost the bottom part of the top. Oh well I will try again tomorow. The woods are redheart,yellowheart,purpleheart,ebony,bubinga,and some hardwood dowels. Finished mm/ca/shellawax.
    Hope yall got some ideas for me.
    Oh yea I also made a new pen stand still gotta finish it.
    I have done so much for so long with so little I can now do almost anything with nothing!

    Personally I think a plainer kit would've suited that pattern better, but that's just my opinion. If you hadn't told us about the CB stuff-up I would never have guessed, although I may've commented about the "unbalanced" top. You've got the glue-ups down pat now, good job!

    I also love the stand and am gonna pinch the idea. Now to think of something besides a moon... hmmm...
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.
