Pity about the worm hole, but it doesn't look too bad.

The wormhole adds character, all very nice.
Nice wood, nice turning, nice pictures.

Worm holes give a bit of character, but then I would say that :topsy_turvy:

I really must get round to doing some of the olive you gave me. I assume those are from the same lot ?

Lovely pens !
Same wood, same tree Phil.
These though were microwave dried over 10 days, then left behind the log burner, for another four.
Olive sure knows how to hold onto moisture!

Neil sure nice Olive mate I used to cut down to 5/8 square blanks gave that up to tricky drilling tiny blanks try to cut around an inch square now.

The Olive came up well as been said very little timber the grain still shows well.
