LAMIN8-2-CRE8 Australian hardwoods laminated and turned

[chris rehn]

Greetings from the bottom of the Barossa Valley in South Australia
I laminate pen blanks from recycled Australian Hard woods from 5mm to .5mm

Welcome.

Would you happen to have any pictures of the wood and how you have used it in the past?

Hi and welcome, there are some very nice timbers from your area, great idea to use smaller pieces ...love to see some pics

Australian Hardwoods are beautiful in grain and texture and rich in colour
from Western Australia Jarrah, Karri & Marri all turn beautifully and make single wood pens are highly prized at artisan markets
from South Australia locally we have Red Gum and River Red Gum both turn into interesting pens
The other states all have interesting timbers varying with the climate and soil
I must get a series of photos to post showing some Aussie timbers in 1 timber pens
