X cut Wellingtonian slimline 2

[Bill Mooney]

The pens were made from corner offcuts from a square bowl blank. Too nice to waste.

 

[Vic Perrin]

Cracking pens Bill

This one is a stunner Bill !!!

 

[Jim]

Nice shape and finish to a superb looking pen Bill ..

 

[Phil Dart]

Stop it Bill - You're making the rest of us look bad.

For those who may not have seen Bill's first wellingtonia thread, his achievement in producing a well turned and well finished pen in this wood is the mark of an extremely skilled craftsman. I cannot think of many woods that are more difficult to work with.

Well done Bill (but there's no need to post any more):wink:

Beautiful Bill as always

 

[Bill Mooney]

Thank you for the compliments Phil. The timber is a pig to turn, I thought Iroko was bad but this is terrible.
I'll post the bowl these pens came from & you can cry a bit more.

Go for it Bill. There won't be any tears from me, just admiration if it's the piece you showed me before. I'll post the piece that sparked our discussion on WWI last time.

Yay to that! Wellington is attractively coloured but is soft and wooly and turns like wholemeal bread. Usually very fast-grown as well so the slow-grown stuff in this pen shows good selection of the material.

Lots of character in that well turned and finished piece of timber.
