Heres a lineup of what I worked on today. Left to right pink ivory, whitetail deer antler, maple burl, maple burl letter opener, curly black walnut, afzelia burl, bolivian rosewood, red oak burl bottle stopper, curly black walnut bottle stopper.
SWMBO and I are probably going to be involved in the Isle of Wight county fair this next weekend (last minute thing, not 100% sure we can get in, but the chairman knows my work, and has told me several times he wants me there), and I realized that I probably don't have enough inventory of bowls, vases, furniture and pens to last 4 days if sales are good. Figured I'd get out and do some pens today, since those are a pretty good production item.
BTW, I did all my pens with a skew for the first time, and I like it very much!! I have only played a bit with the skew in the past, but I got Alan Lancer's DVD on the skew, and after only watching about 15 minutes, I realized some of the things I had been doing wrong. Much more comfortable with it now.
