…back on track

[Hallelujahal]

Yesterday and after work this evening managed to turn a few, feel like I’m getting back on track now…oh yeah, also getting poorer ( but that’s the government’s fault ). 2 slimline, 1 streamline, a Leveche and a Solano.

I do like plywood blanks.... Very nice job and the purple heart?

Good looking pens, Alex.
I had a close look....I don't see any blood on them!

Purpleheart is so deep in this one. I use a heat gun before finishing to bring out the colour

Very nice pens wish my Purple heart turned out like that, but then again I didn't any heat to it....

yep I found that heat is quickest way to bring out the colour, a uv light can also be used...or leave it in the sun on a windowsill but that takes a while. Though careful in applying the heat as it can crack the wood if too much too soon.
