A Chrome plated Barron using Amboyna burl with a Celtic Cross in the top barrel. The material used for the Celtic Cross is black plastic and a Coca Cola can.

Thanks Matty, seeing your nut pen has had me searching the net on how they actually stabilise the blank. Looks like an investment next year in a pressure pot.. This is why i like forums where we can share ideas ... :thumbs:

Very nice Celtic Cross and pen Jim.
I recently photographed a homemade stabilizing pot, which is different to a pressure pot.
Will post pics later, you will probably have to remind me.
