Four pens

Mon, 23 Jan 2006 06:39:53 +0000

by: badger

Description}: Tonight I turned a few new pens, playing with a variety of materials. From Top to Bottom they are: Myrtle: I tried some different shapes with this one, experimenting a bit to see what else I can do with the simple slimline pen shape. Madrone: This uses the standard slimeline kit, but I got a Brass washer in place of the center ring. It allows me to turn it fat, in a cigar or rocket shape. The washer doesn?t fit perfectly though and moves around a bit, but still I am happy with the shape and the wood is very interesting, nice color and feel. Canarywood: I couldn?t find much information on this wood in my books. I found a slab of it in the local hardware store, but no information on it at all. Nice color and grain though, nice and hard. Bamboo: Yes, that?s right, bamboo. I love the feel of this, but it takes a light touch to finish it without tearing the long grained fibers loose. But it finished nicely, looks great, and best of all is a sustainable wood.
