Baron style white turquoise stone pen

Our friend Kirby Pople creates the most amazing hand-made pens.  He starts with a solid square blank of wood, acrylic, Lucite or stone, and turns the blank on a lath until the round pen is revealed.  His stone pens are my favorite – he has stones like white turquoise to blue lapis.  They have a solid feel and unique look all their own.  But the Lucite pens are pretty amazing as well.  Lucite is semi-transparent and the pens have amazing depth.
