Last pine cone ..for a bit at least !

[edlea]

Another struggle for me again ...think it's time to give 'em a rest for a bit and go back to something easier like the 300 year old hard as iron oak that I've been playing with . The pine cones have been a good experience though, so thanks Peter for the introduction.

Nought wrong with that Ed, I like the way you've used the brass too.

 

[Terry]

A very commendable effort Mr Lea !!!!!

 

[Buckeye]

That's another beauty Ed and the brass shows much better. I'm glad you enjoyed, is that the right word turning them, they are fun, but now as you say, move on

Ed that is one stunning pen mate and the brass powder does look good in this one and that is the first time I have said that cos it normally looks crap in my opinion.
Nice picture too I can't fault this effort well done sir.

 

[PhillH]

That's a very commendable effort Ed, lovely result.

 

[scouseroy]

that's a really handsome pen all works really well together

 

[Kardav]

Well done Ed, a cracking effort and well worth it. I'm afraid I've given up the pine cones, for a while at least, sorry Peter (Buckeye). I just can't seem to turn them without ripping great chunks out and that with a well honed skew with the grain as it were. Still got a couple of blanks left so might wait a while, till my headache's gone, then have another go.

Nice one, Ed. That's a keeper!

 

[naxie]

You've cracked it with that one Ed, great job.

Nice to see that brass powder being used as well.

 

[bassethound]

Very nice that one!looks magic.

Well done Ed I can understand why you want a break from doing them but you have to admit they are well worth all the effort and produce an outstanding pen I can wait to do one from a large cone
