Afternoon all, Turned from Spalted Oak, finished with melamine lacquer (ref Phils tech). Any comments and critique please. Thanks. Chriscb

Hi all. Not been too involved with the forum lately due to work and Christmas. That's probably a good thing for you guys, I'm not constantly picking your brains :banana: But that's just what I'm gonna do now!!! I've bought some green oak offcuts from a local sawmill that were going to be...

Hi all, I bought a number of small burl Oak off cuts from Ebay. A piece is shown in the picture. Managed to make a slim line pen out of them. This pen did fight me all of the way though which, of course, some do. The cracks were the main problem and needed constant filling. I would have...

Hi all Another Burr Elm but this time I tried to lighten the wood slightly so the figure better. The wallet is empty though except for the bus pass. I am going to try some Burr Oak next week, see how that comes out. Burr is very appropriate as it's freezing in the workshop. Cheers etc, Frederick

Another pen with history in it. This time a 900 year old Royal brown oak wood, from a tree from the Great Windsor Park, London. This wood turned well and polished nice. In all, a pen that handles very in your hand, (well done on another well designed pen Phil). Thank again Lignaterrae. Kelvin

Done another Delta Set in Oak Burr this time

Straight off of the lathe. I rough turned this Oak blank a while ago and it promptly split so I left it in the pile and came across it and decided to repair the split and make a feature of it, there are also some other splits. I think I need to work on the butterfly fits It measures 9" X 1 3/4"...

Just finished this commission which a lady wanted as a present for her husband. It is an Omega roller ball crafted from oak. The pen is finished using Mr Dart's melamine process. She chose the oak due to the story behind it. The oak is part of a salvaged stretcher from a broken pew from my...

A segmented xcut oak slimline. I glued 6 crop ends of oak in short grain together to make the blank.
