Tagua Nut II

[wood-of-1kind]

Last of my tagua nuts and decided to pair with a Pl. Jr. Statesman. It's been fun to turn these, but it's time to move on. So many others blanks to turn and oh so little time. Hope that you enjoy these for one final time.

How well do they turn?
I have never tried one of those.
It is worth the effort.
Great Job.

Tony, tagua nuts turn fairly easily and best turned with a sharp skew after "rough" shaping with a gouge. Well worth the effort since you will get a very unusual pen. The aroma emitted from the nut is an added bonus. Give them a try, you'll like it.

Nice pen, Peter. I like the looks of this one better than the last one you posted, probably because of the inclusions.
