Pallet Pen!

[Neil Lawton]

I turned a bit of pallet, coloured it, and it looked ghastly!

Back to the tubes, and left this one natural.



Quite holographic in real life, but cant get a pic that shows it!

Very nice, is it a soft wood?

 

[paulm]

Very nice Neil, it looks a bit like Sycamore

 

[Neil Lawton]

It's Spruce from a pallet block. very difficult to get clean ends. Very soft indeed!

 

[Dalboy]

The bottom end looks great but as you say it does not show properly in the photo, I can just make out the ripple in the top but not so much

 

[bassethound]

Looks good for a bit of pallet wood Neil, must try that, I do get loads of pallets!

 

[Neil Lawton]

Sorry for the strange angle, but it does show the grain a little better!

 

[Doug]

That turned out well Neil, that grain is lovely

 

[bassethound]

Looks a lot better at that angle!

Very interesting looking timber Neil , not so sure how well it would fare in the bottom of a handbag with some 10 kg of godknowswhat on top!

I don't know Jimi.
I don't own a handbag!

Reckon a Polymer clay pen would be in more danger under those conditions!

Looks great, reminds me of Curly maple.

Great looking piece of timber, reminds me a bit of Tiger Maple.
Well done.
