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.

Gidday Jude,Man that kit is snazzy. Looks nice and the stand looks good.

Mate.. many christmas blessing for your family

The three wise men would have been proud to possess the pen it looks very regall to me,I have a Turkish son in law would fall all about with crescent moon pen stand,interesting detail the pen strength is balanced:D Peter

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. :D Now to think of something besides a moon... hmmm...

a cat, a cow or a little dog or a dish or a fiddle or a spoon...
