Electric Orange & Tas. Blackwood

[youngturner]

Here are two pens i made today. Both are cigar's in satin silver. The one on the left is an acrylic blank i bought and on the right is curly Tasmanian Blackwood with acrylic accents at each end.

let me know what you think,

Mark.

Great looking pens. Is the Tas Blackwood orangish? Is that the natural color or is it the pic?

Cool looking colors.

I love them both []

Those are both excellent. I like them equally!

Nice job Mark, I like them both but the Tas. Blackwood is outstanding. There's something about a fancy or outragious grained wood, they always just jump out at me.

By the way, I'm having fun with the tigar myrtle that I bought from you. I sent some of that and the Rose Myrtle out to get it stabilized. The first Tigar blank that I turned was so dry that it seemed like dust so I thought that I would try stabilizing and it helped. I have not got around to turninhg a rose myrtle sence I got it back but I will pretty soon.

Hey Mark!

Those are both great! I keep trying to figure out which I like best, and I can't do it! Excellent!

BTW...maybe it is just me but the satin silver finish is the one thing I'll change if ever [][]

Another will be the accents...unless you have short blanks and really need it...I will probably not put any. Again maybe it is just me.

As said earlier though...I love them both.

Great wild colors. Very nice wood, they are also nicely turned.

Beautiful pens Mark, Where'd the Acrylic come from, I've never seen that pattern?

 

[jvsank]

I love the pattern on the first one.

Hi,

have been away for a couple of days, hense the delayed reply.

Thanks for all the comments. I got the acrylic blank from the anual wood show here in Adelaide. I have got one more like it. The color is a real electric orange i've never seen anything like it before.
