Brazilian Cherry and Brazilian Paraju

[badwin]

Made these from some hardwood flooring store samples that my friend had in his store. I made these 2 for him and his wife and still have a ton of wood left over. The Paraju was a delight to turn and is redder than my picture shows. Top one is the Cherry and the bottom is the Paraju.

Hi Brian,

Nicely done, I am sure they will appreciate the pens from the wood you used.

I was wondering how you finished these pens.

Thanks again for sharing your work!

Nice pens..Try Ipe. It is a Brazilian wood that is very dense and turns great!
