G'Day Toni l like your pens well done.you must be very busy with a big family and still find time to turn some very nice pens good onya.[]

 

[Glenn McCullough]

nicely done, thanks for the close up, the grain is too nice to miss.

 

[Jim15]

Good looking pens, nice work.

Buckeye Burl will always be a favorite. Very nice work. Those filigree pens are cool, but I've never done one because I'd hate to cover up a nice blank.

The closeup looks great. Kind of hard to see the details of the other two.

Hi Eric, The photo of the closeup is the top pens wood. It was to nice not to take a close up. I am so proud of that pen.

Toni, love the pens, esp the burl! That looks really good. Aren't Sierras great pens to make?

Love the nice subtle curve on that Sierra...you rightfully should be proud of it.

Take one gorgeous blank and one plain blank of the same wood with similar coloring. Use the figured piece for both bottoms and the plain piece for both tops. Voila! Two beautiful pens!

Nice job on these, Toni.

They look good Toni, never seen buckeye burl that dark. Has it been dyed? I haven't yet worked up the nerve to try the filigree pens yet, they sit in my basement, waiting...

Cheers,
Draken

 

[Snazzypens]

sorry I don't know if it been dyed. I was given it.
I just want to say a thanks to everyone for the compliments. I appreciate it
bye

Draken,

I believe that is the natural spalted color. I had some buckeye that are even darker than this (darker does not necessarily mean better) [].
