Bloodwood Celtic

[Chillicamper]

Someone asked me to make a Celtic pen from Bloodwood for them. I'd never turned this wood before - it was OK, but not my favourite wood to turn. A bit prone to picking up the grain, so it was left a smidge oversize then sanded down.

Not a wood I've ever turned, looks to take a good finish

Loks nice, turned well and observed the problems to prevent a problem..

Well done..

I believe in your technique with some timbers especially with tuberous stuff like Palm Tree and Grass tree. I like these little pens and yours.

Never had that problem with Bloodwood but have experienced that with Red Heart. I much prefer turning Bloodwood. I like your pen.

I like the pen and Kit David .. It looks good .. With this wood though i just tend to use it for segmenting, may give it a go on a pen ..
