[@jaySean0000]

Another video of Bobby B killin' it w/the pen making.

[@raystevens687]

Hi Bob I think your new blank turned out great 👍 I liked all the different colors of wood 🪵 you used.

[@paulwaldrop]

Good looking pen. Great job Bob.

[@roger6077]

Another great job Bob. Very nice! Thanks

[@KweAK47]

Great looking pen Bob! Always excited to see your new blank designs. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

[@josephharwood1370]

Very pen Bob, you do some nice things. I love watching all the videos, Thank you. from the UK.

[@manuelsousa5507]

I really admire your skills and pens

[@hansolavpedersen5521]

Realy nice done these blanks, love the colourcombination and the finish you do is execellent.

[@pamelalittlefield4608]

Very nice Bob...

[@garyderuiter1780]

Beautiful

[@SaintBigAl]

I really like the discolored aspen lookes like bone or antler. Great turn as usual.🙂

[@_zhawkeye_9808]

...very cool looking blank...and it made a great looking pen!...👍

[@alanmullock381]

Great end result Bob!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎

[@georgewilmore7599]

Great looking pen!

[@daveb.misc.2589]

Looks nice Bob. IMHO if I had a very light colored wood in the blank, I would leave the Padauk out altogether. The light wood gives plenty of contrast. 😎❤👍

[@Susanjilek1953]

VERY NICE!

[@haroldmartin8009]

Blank and pen is absolutely beautiful bob

[@robbz2092]

It looks great. The thing you said about making the stripes thinner will look great. How about out thick like they are then the next ones in a bit thinner? Ideas.

[@walshjp17]

Nice job, Bob. To help keep the padauk from bleeding, perhaps a bit of credit card stock/guitar pick or some other plastic spacers between the segments would help as well as add a bit more interest.
