Yew & Elm JR Gent

[mattyts]

Heres a pen made from a length of Yew Jim kindly gave me when I started out,only got round to using it today...turned with Woodies tool,finished with 600 grit Abranet then friction polish and ren wax

And since the resident moaner has spoken here's the burr elm I did yesterday,on a plain background

Hope you all like

All very nice Matty, a plain background is so much better... now loose the stand

Another lovely pair Matty!! That Elm is bloody gorgeous!!

 

[Buckeye]

Lovely pens, the Elm is still as gorgeous as it was in the other photo

The top of the Yew pen looks to be gloss while the lower barrel looks satin, did you do that for effect?

No,I just double checked and it seems the finish has dulled compared to when it was on the late

Well don yew, a lovely pen Matty but the top does look glossier than the bottom. The elm looks as good as last time, beautiful!

You are getting a dab hand at this game now Matty, not only by making the pens but also with your images..
