Sierra stylus pen in chrome

[johnny5]

Still waiting to buy a new house and man cave decided to re assemble the record CL3.
here are a few Sierra Stylus in chrome made tonight, all finished with friction polish and renaissance wax

First one in spalted Myrtle , 2nd Tiger Myrtle and sycamore the third



i know the Spalted myrtle is a tad chunky but i kind of like it in a sweet way
Each kit came with chrome bushing ?
anyone know what is for, I have not got a clue where it goes but the pen seems ok to me or am i missing somewhere to put it on the pen ???

Can't help with the bushing

Just had a look on TB and found out that the Chrome bush is to assemble the pen without damaging the stylus

Nice and chunky looking with a good finish

I have been amazed how popular these stylus pens are (though maybe not by all forum members), they are by far away my most in demand pen

Johnny,

Do you sand with the lathe running? Looks like you've picked up some rings on the sycamore.

Johnny,

Yes the lathe was running ! "he who has never made a mistake has not tried anything new" lol
looks ok in real life , perhaps i was so excited in using the old lathe coz i havnt used her for a while.
out of interest as i call my lathe a she
Is your lathe a Male or female ??????????????? or something else ????

Love the Spalted Myrtle Johnny, like Neil i see the sanding rings, it may pay you to dismantle this and turn them out .. Other than that i do like the shape and overall pens ..

Mines definitely female, suffers from PMT, and has started operating in reverse at low revs without instruction! Time for a separation me thinks.

Nice pens johnny, the tiger myrtle is really beautiful wood!! My lathe is a she, but it does get called other things, none if them repeatable on here....

Hi, John.

A nice trio there, mate!

If I screw up I call my lathe a bitch, so I guess it's a female, right?
