The angle cut is nice, workmanship tops as allways. Page two of the website is looking goood, you have been busy.

I still like that tractor LOL

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks Anthony! And I appreciate ya checking out the web page. I like that tractor too, I think I drive it almost as much as my truck. []

Nice looking pair of pens. I hav'nt done much turning with red oak but I like the way this one looks.

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks Tom! Yeah red oak doesn't excite me much for pens, unless it's like that spalted stuff that Rich was selling. But the angle cut looks pretty good.

 

[Gregory Huey]

A pair of very nice pens. I have never been a big fan of red oak but you have showed it to the max with the angle cut and the dark kit.

Great lookins pens woodchucker. I just looked at your website. I am jealous, amazed and SCARED at the same time. JEALOUS that I dont have a shop like yours. AMAZED that you have so much stuff. and SCARED to think that I might end up just like you.

 

[WoodChucker]

Good looking pens. Sometimes it's nice to see the straight slimlines again!

 

[Tom McMillan]

Nice looking pair of pens there RT!! Great work!!

We get so caught up in the exotic woods that we sometimes forget about the wood common to our part of the world. Nice looking pens. Very clean and simple. Refreshing.

 

[Ken Massingale]

Real nice RT. I didn't know Red Oak could look that good turned.

[WoodChucker]

Thanks for the nice comments everyone!

 

[DCBluesman]

Beautiful job, R.T. The bottom one looks just like a high school graduation gift I received back in 19#%. The top really makes the red oak sing!

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks Lou! Glad I could bring back some nice memories for you! []

Nice job on the pens.

I like the angle cut oak as well, I made three angle cut oaks and deceided to play with one, put some stain on it and it came out pretty good. I prefere the natural ones myself but thought someone might like one a little darker. anyway it gave an excuse to play around a bit.

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks Fleabit!

Thanks Brent! I stained a couple of oak pens too, but I didn't use a dark enough stain and didn't really like it, and they weren't angle cut either. I have some dark walnut stain that I might try and see how that looks. Never hurts to play around and try new things. []

I was wondering what black walnut looked like in a pen. My grandfather just gave a bunch of scraps leftover from his fireplace. Both pens look great.

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks Brandon! Yeah Black Walnut in general is not one of the most popular woods for pen turners. Most people like the woods with lots of grain showing in them, but it still has it's place. I've already ran into a few people that won't buy anything but home grown wood, won't even consider an exotic wood. I love walnut for woodworking, it's one of my favorites, but for pens I'm like most and prefer the exotic woods. But I keep a little of everything on hand. []

Nice job ou turning. I have worked both woods and like the walnut the best. We turn alot of walnut from a tree cut down when this school was built 23 years ago. Makes for interesting pens from wood cut here.
Ex - students are real interested in have a walnut pen from wood from their high school.
