A bit of unusual Oak

[Neil Lawton]

This is one of the "wonky" blanks I posted a while back.
The wood was given to me by the chap who actually planted the tree 50 or so years ago, so this is a present for him.

Hi

I think this is a TM Omega. It looks good to me. Well worth the effort.

Cheers

That's a lovely looking piece of timber, other than drilling did it present any other issues?
Great results

It was a bit like trying to turn concrete to be honest.
I had to square the ends on the big disc sander as the one I made for pens just wouldn't take anything off! Think I had to touch up the edge 3 times to make one pen!

Beautiful pen Neil, with some history behind the blank!!
I made my neighbor a pen from a tree he planted about 60 years ago!!
