Woods from Leetreewoodworks..

[PenWorks]

I got about ten different projects going...
But I got a package from Leetreewoodworks, so I had to
stop everything and cut some of these .
Here are some of his blanks, in Statesmen Jr's

York Gum Burl....Birds eye Snakewood (can't find the B/E)

Red Morrell Burl...Birds eye Gimlet

Thanks for looking

Beautiful as usual Anthony. I just got a package from Lee too. I'm holding out on using my snakewood until my baron kits get here next week. How did that gimlet turn?

 

[DCBluesman]

Beautiful work, Anthony. BTW, in an email, Lee explained that the snakewood is so named for the twisted shape that the tree grows in and the birdseye refers to the incredible figure (which I'd call curly). The Aussie burls make some of the most unusual pens and you've captured each specie remarkably well.

Fred, the Gimlet was the easiest to turn out of the bunch. Although my picture taking is lacking lately, it does have alot of eyes and character to it.

Thanks Lou, the wood does have great figure, which I would call curly as well, so why isn't it
curly snakewood?

Very nice, Anthony.

 

[WoodChucker]

Anthony....Those are beautiful as usual. I really like the way you make the enclosed end pens. I've got to learn how to do it. They are a real inspiration. Thanks for sharing them with us. Guess I need to try Lee for blanks as well.

First Anthony, great work as usual.
Second, I looked at doing a couple of closed end pens for FPs but the RB with its spring befuddled me. Do you have any tips? How do you do your closed end pens?

 

[Gregory Huey]

Anthony
Well you have gone and done it again. You have put the bar so darn high I can't see it. GREAT JOB as always.

 

[PenWorks]

Shane, on the RB, I steal the springs out of those expensive Bic pens, cut them to size, to make them work. You can't fit the original spring in that comes with the kit.

Thanks for the comments.

Those are some real nice pens Anthony. I always like to look at what you have done.

Excellent craftmaship. I have some of those Aussie burls in stock and my Jrs are on the way. I'm looking forward to turning some this weekend.

Very beautiful work Anthony as usual. I like the Red Morrell.

Great looking pens

Nice work Anthony - forgive my ignorance - does the top fit on the back of the body?

 

[PenWorks]

Mik, the caps do not post on the back. I made the pen barrel a touch longer on these
to be more comfortable writing without the cap. They are 3" - 3 1/4" long for the pen barrel.
Which is 3/4 to 1/2 longer depending on what type of end you are using.

Great looking pens as always! Looks like your lighting is coming in too bright. Maybe something moved on your light stands?
