Omega, Tempest and Phoenix pens.

[Chriscb]

Afternoon all,

Thought I's share a few more pens with you.

The Phoenix is a new design that a customer asked me to turn - the acrylic is 'Modern Times'. The wood is Oak and Rippled Massaranduba.

The Zen pens are Pink Ivory and Tamboti - which has a very sweet aroma. I left the wood bare to retain the aroma.

You'll recognise the Tempest in Hawthorn, and the other is a Wave click pen also in Hawthorn. Not turned a Tempest before but I'm very impressed with the quality.

The final is of an Omega in Yew - not any old Yew (as if) but a blank of such chaotic complexity it took my breath away when it was turned. This one I'm keeping! The only downside is that the
knot in the cap seems to be shrinking so I guess I'll need to drop some CA on it in a few months just to keep it in.

As ever, please C&C is the way to go - we've all got to learn!

Thanks.

Regards,

Chriscb

Not much C&C needed there Chris. That's a lovely looking collection. The yew on that Omega is stunning.

Great looking pens Chris, that Yew is fabulous.

Not much C&C needed there as Phil said. I would however suggest that you post slightly smaller images. I can see the whole pen fine on the 24" screen of my desktop but on my 15" laptop I have to scroll to see the whole of any pen.

Thanks for the input on the image size. Curiously an iPad in portrait will stack the images and they'll fit, but won't in landscape.Ditto on the iPhone. On the laptop they are just a smidgen too big on the vertical axis (logical really!). I didn't preview the post on the laptop but did on the iPad in portrait. So, just to finish the circle, the images are all 1000 pixels high, and i guess dropping that to 800 will accommodate all screens. In fairness I did flit through the sticky 'Adding an image' and I didn't see a size comment.

And thank you for the C&C.

Regards,

Chriscb

So much to see and like Chris. The Yew with the knot combined with the sapwood is standout.
