Peter if you want a couple of dry pen blanks I still have quite a a bit of the burr I'll happily let you have?

That's really kind of you Doug, I will wait and see if the burr I have got will produce anything worthwhile, but I must get it to the bandsaw and cut it up. I was going to make a small bowl from it, but it is quite small and most would be turned away, so I will try pen blanks on this one. Thank you for your very kind offer.

Great looking pen,very pretty timber.

I am curious why you always curve the top of the bottom barrel in where it meets the centre band?

 

[bluntchisel]

A nice pen, and full of character with that lovely horse chestnut!

nicely done Jim, out of curiosity is horse chestnut not a very popular wood to turn ? as i don't seem to see very many items turned from it !

If you look in the forums of Bowls KW, you will find a few bowls made by Woody using this wood my friend ..
