Laburnum

[Doug]

Seeing Neil's Laburnum perfume bottle the other day reminded my of some Laburnum I'd been given, a mate had found it in a load of fire wood he'd had delivered & fortunately for me thought it too nice to burn.
So here is one piece of it on a gun metal slimline finished with Hutt wax

Love the shape around the center band, and a lovely wood! :bravo:

You're getting the hang of this pen making lark ain't ya

I like that, bit lighter than normal ?

 

[Neil]

I wondered about the light but seeing the intensity of the shadow think that in real life its probably a bit darker, lovely pen regardless.

Great pen Doug yes great what more can I say but great

 

[Terry]

Great shape you've given it Doug ...think the photo may be giving a wrong impression of how beautiful it really is.

 

[Jim]

Love the shape Doug, lovely pen indeed ..

Going to get a load of that Doug, its brilliant

 

[Doug]

Thanks for the comments :up:

It is a little lighter than a lot of laburnum I've turned, it even has some light white/yellow streaks in it but they don't show up in the photo.

Nice shape, center band. Gives a bit more volume to the pen.
Dell done!

That's very nice Doug. I love the shape you've got there and the finish is great too.

Doug I too like the way you made the best of the skinny centre band my comments are the same as your pine pen except this timber is different.

Kind regards Peter.

I have a branch of labernum after seeing this pen i will make an effort of using it to make myself a pen from it.
