That is done with a tool I got at the AAW Richmond Symposium. You can get it at Crafts Supply USA. It is a wagner texturing tool. It works pretty well and is a lot cheaper that the Sorby $200 outfit. There is a video just above the prices on kinda the right side so you can see how it works. Here it is.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. In the last 5 weeks minus one week with the flu I have did 20 birdhouse, 12 bells, 8 pens and 32 bottle stoppers. I am ready to get back to bowls and vases for a while.

An interesting tool. I had the impression that something on the order of a knurling tool was the answer. Have you ever tried using this tool to create a "grip" area on a pen?

Nope Mike had not given that a thought but will give it a try on the next pen. I have tried it on a screw driver handle for a better grip. Works for me.
