My dad just got done teaching my how to make pens (spinning them on a lathe) like 5 days ago. Ive made 2 so far. Ill post pics in a few.

That's pretty cool...yeah, post some pictures when you get the time. I'd like to see them.

Like a pen that you write with, I just go to the store

Haha, you are funny. No these pens reach to about 60 bucks!!

Ok here are some pictures on them. The 2 colored one was my first pen, the wood one is my second. It takes about 45min each. Selling might come soon. My dads going to make a website for it if he does deside to start selling. These small, they are called slender, pens reach about 30 bucks. The "cigar" pens reach about 60 bucks.

Those are pretty cool but the top one looks bent.  What got you involved into making pens?

Thanks, they are very hard but very fun to make

It was sitting on my bed with the cat above the pens so the pen was tilted alittle so yes it does look bent but its not.

My dad got me into it.

Pretty cool

Thanks guys!!

I was thinking about that but balsa is WAY to soft. It would crack and split and isnt hard enough for a pen.

Dude, the cool kids have magnesium titanium carbon fiber pens.

Ow, My brain hurts!! ;D
