I`m new here

Hello my name is Perry (papaturner) Bridges I`m new to this site but not to spinning a pen. I`ve been at it since about 2003.
I have not been able to down load any photos for a while now (computer problems) but this is one of the last ones I down loaded. It is a simple little Slimline wrapped in kudzu(the wild vine that covers the south like the dew).

It has a CA finish sanded thru mm.
Of course comments are welcome. Thanks in advance for looking.
Perry

Welcome Papa, great character in that vine, like the variation of colours, nicely done, Amos

WElcome Perry,

See you have been around on the IAP quite a while, the Vine is interesting in colour and texture, was it also soft in the centre?

Welcome from Canberra.

Kind regards Peter.

Welcome to this great forum Perry.

As the other Guys said, that pen really has some character.

Very interesting piece of wood, dark on the outside and light in the middle. Lots of variations in colour and nicely finished.
Welcome to our little showroom.

Peter, Thanks for looking. It was indeed soft in the center and pretty much all the way through. I used a lot of CA to complete it.

Perry

Thank god someone found a use for Kudzu, besides keeping county work crews busy trying to get rid of it...stuff will take over any thing and anywhere it is, the railroad I work for has a full time crew clearing it off the signal lines and poles, it will climb and cover the entire pole in a month or two.

That`s the Kudzu I used..........I see it grows well in the Great State of Texas too.

I think it would grow on the moon if it got there!
