Juniper slimline

[maxwell_smart007]

Juniper slimline pen - thick coat of CA, but I left it semi-gloss, as I don't like light-coloured woods to be too shiny...

I was rushed to take this pic, as it was a birthday present, and I forgot to take a pic until just before the party, hence the gap between the band and the barrel...happy with the pen overall, though!

Edit: helps if I add the picture, I guess! []

Very pretty contrast, reminds me a lot of eastern red cedar. Is it soft like that? Also love the knotholes! I think your 'sharp' button's broke, though! heh

Nice pen Andrew! I'm with Karl the knots are cool! Great job!

It was nice and crisp when I took the picture, but every time I reduce it so it can be uploaded, it gets all fuzzy!

Pretty piece of Juniper, around here we call it eastern red cedar, sure smells nice while your turning it doesn't it.

It really does, Ken! Nice change from the acrylics! (Been told that my turning stinks - hope she was talking about the smells! [] )

Ahh! So that's why it looks so much like cedar. heh...I always wondered what Juniper looked like, and come to find out I've already got a bunch of it. <- it'd sure be nice to have a smiley for "I feel like an idiot". heh

Don't have to worry about the moths carrying that pen off!
