Description}: these were made for the pen swap on an aussie bulletin board. the keyrings were last months stuff ( i stuffed up both pens - my second time laminating ever and it didn't work ) and the two pens are this months. my first cb less pen and my first segmented pen, all in one. it was meant to be a diamond shape but it din't turn out so good. but still i'm happy with it. the woods are huon pine keyrings ( sassafrass insert ) and redgum/ purple heart pen. as well as a pittosperum pen with ph and redgum diamond. any comments are welcome cheers

silky oak bowl

Sat, 08 Jul 2006 09:39:30 +0000

by: stirlo

Description}: this bowl is the third one i've made that hasn't eneded up in the scrap bin. it is finished with shellawax made by ubeaut and its around 160mm at its widest point and the actual bowl bit is about 145 mm across. the wood is silky oak and it was made on the faceplate cos i dont have a chuck and haven't had sufficient time ( and time to buy the stuff ) to make the donut chuck that Gil jones emailed me. enjoy and i welcome any advice and comments edit: you can tell by the pool balls that it isn't very big, i think from memory that its about 45mm high but it serves it purpose well.
