Cross cut Cherry

[Terry Q]

Pen and pencil set. Stabilized, dyed xcut cherry. One dyed red and one dyed blue. I think these blanks show promise so I will make some to test the water.

Not a big fan of dyeing, but I do like the red one best. Two good pens though Terry.

Very nice Terry I love turning x cut wood they can be a nice challenge never tried them stabilized though they look very nice if I had to choose one it would be the red for me it looks more natural well done my friend

They do look good Terry, the x-cut and colouring sure helps give it the wow factor ..

Cross cutting is the way to go to add interest to otherwise plainer looking woods. I love the cross cut Laburnum Woody kindly gave me, and I must try the cross cut oak Billy sent me. Thanks for showing, I'll have to try doing some more cross cutting.

Like them both Terry. Never been a fan on dyeing wood but is becoming an area which I feel I must have a go at.

Terry, they both look gorgeous. I'm going to have a go at stabilising in the new year. And if i can get anywhere near as good as these, I'll be happy

I love them both Terry and neither are obviously stained. I really like the affect the blue has in the variety of colours it produces.

How is this size?

Much better, but it would be better if they had been horizontal for laptop users, but better bigger than smaller, it really show the detail and they do look great and more spectacular than normal cut cherry.

Like them both Terry. Xcut timber shows more of the character especially with small blanks.
