To be more accurate a chairmans pen and three perfume pens, an order I received out of the blue, the perfume pens are finished in acrylic sanding sealer and acrylic lacquer due to the nature of the perfume. Interesting how the bog oak has photographed. Being a bit rougher than the other two, the light is reflecting off the grain which has been filled with sealer and lacquer, hasnt happened with the other two.

Lovely Neil, you are very consistent in your turning and finishing. I've not tried perfume bottles, and not 100% sure I would... unless I had an order. 4 lovely pieces there.

Love the shapes Neil ..I was ready have a go at them but after being asked, the women folk around here said they thought that nobody would buy or use them

Perfume users abound in this country my nose sensitivity has lessened but just yesterday out shopping I was assailed by different perfumes. I like your dispensers they are neat I feel for you using this timber and so many others the camera does nasty things with grain on Cocobolo cut on the cross and Palm as well.

Peter.

Nice looking set there Neil.

Never done any perfume pens and never been asked either, that must say something more about where I live than anything else tho.:goesred:

I have had the same with bog oak on many occasions, can't do anything with it at times as the grain can be quite coarse. But you have done a good job with them as always.:thumbs:
