a nice little Christmas gift surprise
One of my engineers is a wood-turner. He makes bowls and such and they look really nice. He is also a very analytical materials engineer so very precise and methodical and consumed with the process as well as the product of his hobby.
We talk often about woods and I share guitar repair and luthiery stories. He just gave me this turned pen which he made for me for Christmas out of East Indian Rosewood - at some point I think I told him my favorite guitar is EIR. I love guitar-centric stuff so this was such a cool (and totally unexpected) gift.

Lovely work.

That pen is beautiful!
My oldest son is a manager at a local Navy installation. Long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away he started at the facility by going through the apprenticeship program and training to be a machinist. He's still a machinist at heart, with a great feeling for materials and techniques. But I digress. When he was finishing up his apprenticeship, some wise instructor integrated some fun projects into the program. For my father, an engineer, my son turned a beautiful, two-inch round polished paperweight from brass rod stock with a rare quarter pressed into its face. For me, he turned a pen made from, South American marblewood (Zygia racemosa). I love its chunky feel and profile. Bob
