Serge,

I might go with Caesar and Cleopatra. []

Very nice, I had not heard of that wood before. It is an interestingly grained wood and nicely presented.

Fantastic Serge, that is beautiful wood and you did a very nice job. Aren't those kits fun? I love making special pens and these babies fit the bill.

Geee Lou what you done to the pens!! did you put them in a toaster[][]


William will think about Cleopatra on this pen. but she was not an Emperor just the mitress of the great Julius Caesar.

Wayne love those kit they're easy to do.

Thank you all for your comments, wood are very hard and luky I do have 2 skews, have to re-sharp them for the second pen

Please read my first post, the link, my signature and look where I'm living

Serge, Cleopatra was not an Emperor, that is true, but she was the Pharaoh of Egypt for 21 years. Yes she was linked first with Julius Caesar and after his death with Mark Anthony, but she was a ruler in her own right.

Trivia aside, very nice work, even if Lou did toast them []

Beautiful wood, Serge. I envy the fact that you have so many nice woods down under. I turned an emperior from eucalyptus burl that is really nice. I have turned all four I got from Anthony's group buy and must post some pictures. I've not heard of ironbark burl either, but it is stricking. Thanks for posting.
Do a good turn daily!

Beautiful wood, beautiful work, beautiful pens.
I like!

 

[Fleabit]

Outstanding wood (and the pens are nice too). I like the way the grain flows in almost a hairlike quality.

 

[jwoodwright]

[jvsank]
