Sierra in X cut spalted apple

[Woody]

I am at last making some pens woopeeeeeeeeeeeee both made from X cut Spalted Apple which did need stabilizing with thin CA after I turned them down quite a bit both have a polish finish enjoy
I will in the very near future be cutting up one of the logs to give away to you guys there will quite a few blanks up for grabs I did turn a bowl out of one bit yesterday and after 4 coats of oil it is still soaking in it is a bit to far gone for bowls I will show some photos of it when it is finished

Great looking pens woody. Top quality job.

I like the look of the cross cut grain, really come out nice. You certainly have latched on to some nice wood there.

Woody,
Thanks for the offer. I'm still with this piece of crumpet so can't talk for long. I showed her your Sierras and she's well-impressed! Reckons if you could fix a few diamonds on 'em then you'll be next on her list! How 'bout dat, then, huh? I'll come back later and tell yuh when she expects to be in your neck of the woods.
Bob.

Really lovely bits of wood there Woody, oh the pens aint bad either

 

[Woody]

Thank you all so pleased you enjoyed them

Woody,

Some tempters those Apple pens they have character amazing the way a different cut changes the detail in blanks, means end grain turning but you do that all the time in bowls and have mastered them as well.

Kind regards Peter.
