Well ....I tried.

[edlea]

My attempt at one of Peters pine cone pens.

I'm not entirely happy with the end result.....but I am happy with my endeavours. I was way out of my comfort zone and the fact that I managed to bring it back from the brink on more than one occasion taught me a great deal, including how to use a skew correctly as a cutting tool and not as a scraper as I have been doing since I started nine months ago.


Here it is ..fire away.

Hay Ed that is a good un mate I like the brass in it I had the same thought when I was turning mine well done mate

 

[Buckeye]

Ed that looks fantastic the finish is superb, you should be really pleased especially now that you can use a skew the way it should be used, use the skew whenever you can, it's a great tool.

Would you like some more, Ed

Peter

looks really nice, the pattern is lovely
I hope when I get better I can try pinecone, I think they are they make the most attractive type of pens I have seen

Nice job Ed, I assume that's the one you posted the other day that you thought was wrecked?

Very nice recovery and the brass works really well.

 

[Grump]

Well done ED lots of admiration for ya on this, for not giving up and your learning whilst doing it.
Great job dear chap.

Well Ed, it was well worth the effort mate. From the pics and other post on this tricky medium, I can only imagine the effort involved. Nice one!

Well that is certainly a cracking pen Ed! and considering the degree of difficulty is an amazing job. You should be patting yourself on the back.
