Very nice group of pens. Looks like the first pen the top barrel by the center band looks like it is scuff up or didn't get a finish there. Or maybe it just the light.

Nice looking piece of sycamore. If I knew this limb dropping tree in my yard would look like that, I'd have already cut the drasted thing down, LOL. Nice job on the pens!

Guess I'll be the 'different one'....the Ironwood with a 'touch-of-sapwood' is purty nice! I see a huge amount of spalted wood and it all starts to look the same(this isn't your fault, I've just seen some much of it is all)


Nice turningz!

Good job on all of them!

Put me with the others that like the sycamore the best. I just love that wood. There is so much going on with the grain. Next for me is the DIW. Another great wood. The only thing I don't like about it that it smells like old dirt when you turn it. But still doesn't smell as bad as antler.
