Buckeye

[paulm]

I recieved a package from David (Lignature) this morning containing several pieces of Buckeye. I've wanted to try this for a long time since someone (I think it was Jim) put up some pictures of one he made. Its very dry wood and I was tempted to stabilize it but being impatient decided to go my old route with ca first and I'll stabilise the rest. Its lovely wood to turn and takes a superb finish. Of course the Omega sets the wood of perfectly in gunmetal.

Love it Paul, this wood certainly does make great looking pens. I often get asked if i can bring a few pens in to work for people to look at before buying, if i have a Buckeye among them it is the first pen that they pick up and ask what wood is this ..


The next you know, they are paying for it ...
