I'll post pictures of the pen later. This is the 3rd time I turn this stone and I find it very difficult to turn. I just get dust (may be a bit more than that) but not a whole lot more.
I tried with a fresh grind and the following tools 1/2" Round skew, 3/8" spindle gouge, 3/4" roughing gouge, round and square medium size scrapers even a 3/8" bowl gouge. I just need to try a spoon and other eating utensils. Also I've tried different speeds and no improvements.
I am very happy with the pen but I took over 1 hour to shape the pen. Please don't laugh.
Anyway I have 2 more pieces coming and I have 4 other different kinds of stones to turn.
Any advice will truly be welcome.
Regards,
Alex
