Must have done a good job getting MIL's house ready for sale because it was under contract before the week was out. Now I am *finally* able to get caught up on some projects in the queue.
First up were these crochet needles for a Fediverse acquaintance who does amazing things with yarn. She said these are for a machine that she makes hats on. Cool!
Next completed item from the #woodworking / #woodturning queue is a cue.
Well, a pen made to look like a pool cue, anyway. Pen is 8.5 inches long with the cap on.
Although challenging to make, the hardest part turned out to be finding a gift box for it. Ended up using a bracelet gift box.

That is gorgeous!
@thereal_renaissance_man Thanks! Fun project to build and a bit of a challenge to design the uprights and divider bits. Now all I need to do is build a miniature pool table to go with it.
@tdotrob the pool stick pens look so cute!
That pool cue pen is devilishly hard to manage. At 8 inches, no pen box or display fits. Normal pen pots tend to tip over. Something had to be done so I figured why not manage it like any other pool cue and make a cue stand for it?
Voila! #HotOffTheLathe today are the two cue sticks used as the uprights for the stand divider. The rack is 3D printed. The base is #shapermade and the divider is laser cut. Used all the toys on this one!
