This isn't really a rule, is it?
A couple of days ago I made a pen for one of my wife's sisters who is having a birthday. My wife informs me that I can't give the one sister a pen without giving the other sister a pen. Look it up in the rule book she says.
So I turn this Junior Emperor out of afzilia just to keep the peace in the house. I'm just glad she's out of sisters.
CA finish as usual. The kit is too small on the business end for my taste, but may be fine for a girl. Just my two cents.When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.

I don't know about any rule, but SHMBO is always right.
That pen is another stunner I have to get some of that Afzalia to try the grain and colour are terrific. Outstanding pen Cisco.
I guess you don't have any BIL's?

It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Ciscokid,
Nice one.
Rule 1. SWMBO is always right.
Rule 2. SWMBO makes all rules.
Rule 3. When challenging any rules start at rule 1 and read on.
Hope that helps
Steve

Thank you for the kind comments. Hopefully, she will be happy with it.
Steve - good rules! You and Sam have obviously been trained well.

Al, beautiful wood, well turned and finished the pen looks outstanding,
hope you used exactly the same number of coats of CA on each, and polished for equal amount of time!, Alas, SWMBO is Always right even when she is wrong!

Now, go show it to SWMBO and say "This is for your other sister. But she's not getting it until it's her birthday."
