thumbs

I'm out of action for a while. A few weeks ago I cut my thumb and despite plasters, superglue and all other attempts it just kept bleeding - not a lot but enough to be uncomfortable. A trip to the Doctor theis morning resulted with a diagnosis of a pyogenic granuloma. This has now been...

One dyed, one not. I've said it before, but I do like the way features appear as they are turned!

Mahogany perhaps? When I cut through, the timber in side was in excellent condition so no need to stabilise :thumbs: Before: After:

So I had a go at stabilising :thumbs: but the results were interesting :goesred: The first piece is a bit of driftwood and bleached white, the second is Southern American Pine which was very yellow. If it were food, it would be burnt and inedible - as usual :funny: SO...... 2hrs at 200C Did I...

In Beech, tried to keep it simple and it turned out something less than delicate! Nice to write with though - being a bit thicker makes it easier for me to grip :thumbs: Learned a few things along the way, hoping the next one will be a bit better looking

First time in making this style pen and I can recommend it. Easy to assemble and not too heavy when made with wood. :thumbs:

I have several Camo Plastic blanks but prefer this timber. From Tasmania Eucalypt Burl is always sold under this broad classification. Peter. :thumbs:

:rolling::winking::thinks::love_it: All Regular pens making Happy New Year to you all :thumbs:

Got a lovely prezzie through the post yesterday one of Bills Outstanding Pens. Cheers Bill :thumbs:

Does anyone have one of these stands? If so can you tell me your thoughts on it, especially if it stable .. :thumbs:

Nice kit this is ... feels like a good mechanism. Now kept in my jacket pocket :thumbs:

It's Peters "Buckeyes" birthday, :happybirthday::happybirthday::happybirthday: mate..:thumbs: hope you have had a good one..
