From the South Indian Stable- Black Ebony

[tgsean]

G'day mates,

I'm back just putting up pictures of pens that I have turned recently. This is Indian Ebony. I visited South India, Kerala to be exact and I have a guy who supplies me with Indian Rosewood. He turned up with this black wood, and said it was Indian Ebony, I had never turned Ebony before, but it is amazing! Jet black! Bought 25 blanks back with me! I love it. Its on a Majestic Rollerball pen. C&C welcome

Cheers,
Sean

What a way to make a return! Welcome Home.
A Glorious Pen, Sean
The Indian Ebony Blank, is Incredible, It is so fine, almost like a manufactured material, rather than a Timber.
Your Fit and Finish, is Outstanding.
Coupled with a Perfect Partner in the Majestic Roller Ball.
I don't think that 25 Blanks will be enough for your potential demand.
Congratulations,
Brian.

Thanks Brian, its great to be back, I was turning, but just didn't get the chance to put it up on IAP, it feels great to be back.

How did you finish it ?

Cam

That blank really sets the pen off. Beautiful.

Only 25 blanks??
I'd have thrown my clothes away & filled my suitcase.
That is a gorgeous pen!

Thanks everyone, I finished it with 20 coats of CA, then buffed with white diamond rouge and lastly with Renaissance wax.

I should have emptied my suitcase and bought more blanks you are right!
