A few new pens

[jclark58]

I've been turning a bunch of pens lately in preparation for an upcoming show.

Closed Ended Baron Rollerballs. Top to bottom - 2 tone Honey Locust, Oak Burl w/ Turquoise, Curly Koa, Pomelle Bubinga, Olive, Amboyna Burl, and Desert Ironwood.

Saguaro Cactus Rib Cigar. Turned from a rib I recently offered in some mixed lots in the classifieds.

Curly African Sumac Rollerball. Turned from some African Sumac harvested locally last year, also recently offered in some mixed lots in the classifieds. The wood is plain when first finished but exposure to UV light turns it red.

Thanks for Looking
Jason

That is a bunch of nice pens Jason. I think you got the curley koa and pomelle bubinga backwards in your label, though.

Very nice selection of pens. They should sell well.

Jason,
That's a great looking collection of CEBs.

I wish I could turn pens that were that nice.

Beautiful pens! I like the Pomelle Bubinga the best.

I like the sumac. Wow... can't wait to see mine turn anywhere near that color.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I finally got around to turning some closed ended after experiencing a bit of a fiasco the first time I tried turning one, well over a year ago.

Cav, The labeling is correct, the Curly Koa is above the Pomelle Bubinga.

Chris, It's quite a dramatic change, I've had a blank sitting on the front porch for a couple of days so I can show the color change the next time I put some blanks up in the classifieds.

In that case, I am REALLY impressed with the Bubinga!!!!!!

Very nice group.

For those of you that are unfamiliar with African Sumac it is probably my favorite locally grown wood to work with. It cuts beautifully, finishes great and look spectacular after it has been set out to tan.

Do your self a favor and grab some the next time Jason lists it. I know some people will be a little leary since it is actually a pretty ugly wood until you put it in the sun. You just have to have a little faith on this one.

That Pomelle Bubinga pen is stunning!
