Asked a question about making these so only seemed right to post the results. London Plane on the left & Elm Bur on the right. Funny thing is that I am a little disappointed with the elm set. I think they both look OK but I hadn't really thought it through properly before starting. If you look...

Hey all, Found this section of the forum and thought I would share some of my own Hybrid castings. I experiment quite a bit with different woods and have got heavily into stabilising also. I only use epoxy (tried polyester out with a friend of mine and we both got a little... well high...) I...

As in the title I am after some expert advice/guidance from you experts. I bought a pack of exotic hardwood blanks when I first started to do some hand turning & there was a purpleheart blank in the mix. It had the purple colour to it & I didn't think anymore about it. My Daughter inlaw took a...

First time I have turned Yew. My neighbor removed a very old Yew and I got the trunk pieces. Cut one section into 65 pen blanks. I have always been impressed with the Yew you all make.

I am interested in what people have found to be their best way to square blanks. I am aware that there are many ways to skin a cat but only a few really successful ways. I work with a 7mm barrel trimmer in the pillar drill which needs to be sharpened frequently and only good for 7mm and take...

I don't post pictures as my pens aren't up to the forum standard but since I posted a picture of the crosscut London Plane blanks it seemed right to post a picture of how the grain came out once they were turned. Managed to turn these while cutting brass on the CNC, the one on the left is brown...
