I don't often post pictures of my work as most of the time I just make batches of slimlines for sale and it would get pretty boring after a while, but I thought this batch made yesterday was an interesting mix of timbers and sources so here we go. None of the wood was paid for which says something about the generosity of the wood turning community. All finished with CA unless otherwise stated.
From left to right:
Azobe given to me by a friend in France, finished with Drechseln and Mehr pen finish.
Cherry from a tree cut down in a garden in Morpeth.
Unidentified timber, recovered from a scrapped catamaran that was mostly made out of teak (but this piece was definitely not teak).
A piece of Neil Lawton's olive, finished with melamine lacquer.
Crosscut walnut (probably from Merv Cadman but might be Neil Lawton again).
Laburnum from either Neil Lawton or Ian Metheringham (Turner's Cabin).
Woody's holly.
Spalted beech recovered from a wood near Consett. What a pain that was to turn, very punky, lots of thin CA needed to stabilise and mixed with sawdust to fill bits that tore out. Careful observers will note that the two halves of the pen are not from the same blank due to complete disintegration of one of the originals.
Another piece of Morpeth cherry.
Oak that was recovered from a wooden floor.
