Bolivian Rosewood slimline

[Crafted by ALM]

Here’s my latest pen - number 10 or 11ish.
Bolivian rosewood AKA Pau Ferro
Cross cut
Fairly hard wood and turning ‘bowl style’ with alternating grain structure was a new challenge to me but very happy with the result.
Finished to 320g and one coat of Rubio monocoat.

This was a practice run for a pair of Beaufort Cyclone’s that will be a wedding present later in the year.

That's come out rather nice, love the effect of the grain being cross cut.... Nice black hoops

Bolivian Rosewood is a lovely timber, making for a good looking pen.

You will like the Cyclones when you get round to them.

A nice pen Aidan. I like turning xcut blanks.

I like that, I think cross cut enhances the wood beautifully
