July 16 - The sculpted latticed pen kit from
Penn State Industries is a truly excellent woodturning project. It is
easier to drill and turn than the designer series, and will not look out of
place with your $10,000 William Fioravanti suit.

New January 1 - I'm sorry I had to
make everyone wait so long to see this pen turning project, but it was a
Christmas gift for my wife's grandmother whom I have claimed as my own.
The bocote wood I chose has fantastic grain that works very well with this 24kt gold
plated pen hardware. This kit is more complex than some, but it is
definitely worth the effort.
